6. MENU FUNCTIONS
Automower® has a default delay setting of 2 minutes for guide 1 and guide 2 and 11 minutes for the boundary wire. A delay of 99 minutes means that the function is deactivated.
If both search methods are to be activated, it is possible for example to set 4 minutes for Guide 1 delay and Guide 2 delay and 9 minutes for Boundary delay. Automower® then searches irregularly for 4 minutes and then searches for the guide wires for 5 minutes. If by this time it has not found one of the guide wires, the mower will now search for both the boundary wire and guide wires.
If it is not suitable in the installation to follow the boundary wire, 99 minutes should be specified as the delay for the boundary wire.
It is of course possible to specify the same delay time for both the guide wires and the boundary wire, e.g. 5 minutes. Automower® then searches irregularly for 5 minutes and when it does not find the charging station, it continues to search either by following the guide wires or the boundary wire, depending on which one it reaches first. Different delay times can also be chosen for guide 1 and guide 2.
The mower does not change the search method: If the mower starts to follow the boundary wire it will not switch to follow a guide wire.

•Corridor width (3-2-3)
The Corridor width setting defines the distances from the mower's path to the boundary wire or the guide wire when following these to/from the charging station. The area beside the wires used by the mower is called the Corridor.
A low corridor width value represents a narrow corridor while a high value represents a wide corridor. With a narrow corridor Automower® always runs close to the boundary wire respective guide wire. With a wide corridor Automower® varies how it runs, i.e. close to and further from the boundary wire respective guide wire.
Corridor width is a relative distance and is stated on a scale from 0 to 20. The lower the Corridor width value the closer Automower® follows the boundary wire and/or guide wire.
