to mow too much, the lawn may appear flattened. Also, 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 three-day period once a month. WARNING: Use the timer to avoid mowing when there are children, pets and anything else that could be damaged by the rotating blades on the lawn. The operating hours and days can been seen in an overview. Active mowing per day is illustrated by a colored bar. The rest of the time, the robotic lawnmower is parked in the charging station. normally a suitable setting for a working area corresponding to the maximum capacity, see #. 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 below.

The time intervals 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. • 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. The default timer setting allows the robotic lawnmower to operate around the clock 7 days a week.
