5. CONTROL PANEL

The keypad consists of four groups of buttons: operation selection button, multi-choice buttons, numbers and start button.

5.1 Operation selection

The operation selection button is symbolised by a house. When the button has been pressed, the selected operation mode is shown in the display. By consecutively pressing the button many times, one can choose between three different operation modes.

1.HOME:

Sends the mower to the charging station. It remains here until another operation mode is selected. The text Home is shown in the operation window. When the battery is fully charged, the mower will remain parked in the charging station.

The Home setting is also used after a new installation or changes are made to an existing installation to test if the mower can follow the guide wire and dock with the charging station. See 3.9 Test docking with the charging station on page 31.

2.AUTO:

The standard, automatic operation mode where R40Li mows and charges automatically.

MAN:

When cutting secondary areas (see 3.4 Installation of the boundary wire on page 20) the MAN setting must be used.

If MAN is selected and the mower starts when it is out on the lawn, it will mow until the battery runs out. It will then stop and the ‘Needs manual charging’ message will appear. The mower must then be moved manually to the charging station and then started manually after charging.

If the mower charges in the MAN mode, it will fully charge, move about 20 cm out of the charging station and then stop. This indicates that it is charged and ready to start mowing.

If the main working area has to be cut after charging, it is appropriate to switch the operation mode to Auto before placing the mower in the charging station.
