Messages Historical fault and information messages can be read in this menu. For some of the most common fault messages, there are tips and advice to help you rectify the fault. See Messages on page 27. Weather timer This function allows the robotic lawnmower to automatically adjust its mowing times based on how much the lawn grows. When the weather is good for grass growth, the robotic lawnmower mows more often and when grass growth is slower the robotic lawnmower will automatically spend less time on the lawn. See Weather timer on page 27. The lawn should not be cut too often to obtain the best mowing result. When the robotic lawnmower is allowed to mow too much, the lawn may appear flattened. Besides, the robotic lawnmower is subjected to unnecessary wear. If the working area is less than the robotic lawnmower's area capacity, 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 benefits from resting completely during at least a threeday period once a month. The timer function is also an ideal way to control which periods the robotic lawnmower should not mow, for example, when the children are playing in the garden. The operating hours and days can been seen in an overview on the robotic lawnmower's display. Active mowing per day is illustrated by a black bar. The rest of the time, the robotic lawnmower is parked in the charging station. Installation This menu function is used to customize the installation. For many working areas there is no need to alter the factory settings, but depending on the lawn complexity the mowing result can be improved by making manual settings. See Installation on page 28. Settings This selection allows you to make changes to the general robotic lawnmower settings such as date and time. You can also turn on/off ECO mode and Spiral cutting, or save your settings in different Profiles. See Settings on page 32. Accessories This menu handles the settings for robotic lawnmower accessories, for examples Automower Connect. Contact your local Husqvarna representative for information on what accessories are available for your robotic lawnmower. See Accessories on page 35. 3.13 Timer TIMER (Overview) Period 1 Period 2 Copy Reset The factory timer setting is inactive, which means that the robotic lawnmower will operate around the clock 7 days a week. This is normally a suitable setting for a working area corresponding to the maximum capacity, see Technical data on page 61. If the working area is less than maximum capacity then the timer should be used to minimize wear on grass and lawnmower. When setting the timer, calculate that the robotic lawnmower mows about the number of square meters per hour and day listed in table Work capacity. See To set the timer on page 45. The table below provides suggestions for different timer settings depending on the size of the lawn. The times should be seen as indicative. They may need to be adjusted to suit the garden and for example grass quality and growth during the season. Use the table as follows: • Find a work area that closest matches the size of the lawn. • Select an appropriate amount of work days (for some work areas 7 days may be needed). • Work hours per day shows how many hours a day the robotic lawnmower will be allowed to work for the selected amount of work days. • Suggested time interval shows a time interval that corresponds to the required work hours per day. It is possible to configure 2 work periods a day. There can be unique work periods in each day, but it is also possible to copy the current day's work period to all the other days. 236 - 001 - 02.10.2017 Installation - 23
