Advanced Garden Settings — Keep Out Area

Use this menu to enable the mower to recognize entrapment by a Keep Out Area when homing (returning to the charging station). This menu is not used if your installation does not include any Keep Out Areas.

The mower normally follows the boundary wire when returning to the charging station. The boundary signal from installed Keep Out Areas could cause the mower to drive in circles and fail to return to the charging station. If the battery charge becomes too low, the mower eventually stops. The mower must then be carried to the charging station.

Keep Out Perimeter is the measured distance the mower travels around the largest Keep Out Area plus 10 percent to compensate for other factors.

The Yard Perimeter is the total perimeter distance of the mowing area. Measure the distance the mower has to drive from the charging station, around the outer boundary wire, and back to the charging station.

Keep Out Turns are the number of turns the mower travels around a Keep Out Area before exiting. When setting, begin with simple to leave fewer mower tracks in the area.

To add keep out settings:

1. Push Up and Down Arrows and Enter to select Keep Out.

2. Enter desired value in meters.

   • Default value is 350 m.
   
   

3. Push Up and Down arrows and Enter to select Keep Out Perimeter.

4. Enter desired value in meters. This value is your measurement plus 10 percent.

   • Default value is zero.
   
   

5. Push Up and Down Arrows and Enter to select Keep Out Turns.

6. Enter simple and changing setting later if needed. Changing to complex allows the mower to be more precise, but increases the risk of tracking.

7. Push Back to return to Navigation menu.
