USE
4.2 Using the timer
The lawn should not be cut too often to obtain the best
mowing result. Use the timer function (see 6.3 Timer
on page 42) to avoid a downtrodden lawn and to get the
maximum service life from the robotic lawnmower. When
setting the timer, calculate that the robotic lawnmower
mows about 135 m2 per hour and day (90 m2 for
Automower® 320). For example; If the working area is
1,200 m2 the robotic lawnmower must operate for about
9 hours per day (13 hours for Automower® 320). The
times are approximate and depend for instance on grass
quality, blade sharpness and battery age.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Use the timer to avoid mowing when there
are usually children, pets and anything
else about that could be hurt or damaged
by the rotating blades on the lawn.
The factory setting is that the robotic lawnmower will
operate around the clock seven days a week.
If the size of the working area allows it, the quality of the
grass can be further improved if it is cut every other day
instead of a few hours every day. In addition, the grass
benets from resting completely during at least a three-
day period once a month.
The maximum capacity, 3200 m2 for Automower® 330X
and 2200 m2 for Automower® 320, is only obtained when
the robotic lawnmower is allowed to mow around the
clock seven days a week.
4.3 Starting
1. Press the STOP button to open the control panel
hatch.
2. Set the main switch to position 1.
3. Enter the PIN code.
The PIN code request can be disabled. See 6.5

If the robotic lawnmower is parked in the charging station,
it will only leave the charging station when the battery is
fully charged and if the timer is set to allow the mower
to operate.
Before the blade disc starts a warning beep can be heard
consisting of 5 short beeps for 2 seconds.
