• More details about software updatescan be found at Bosch-Indego.com.
• Do not use the USB interface forany additional purposes. Do notplug any external devices.

Recommendations for OptimalHandling of the Battery Pack

• Do not open the battery. There is arisk of short-circuiting.
  Protect the battery againstheat (e.g., against continu-ous intense sunlight), fire,water, and moisture. There is a risk ofexplosion.

• Keep any unfitted battery awayfrom paper clips, coins, keys,nails, screws or other small metalobjects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another.Shorting the battery terminals to-gether may cause burns or a fire.

• In case of damage and improperuse of the battery pack, vapoursmay be emitted. Ventilate the areaand seek medical help in case ofcomplaints. The vapours can irritatethe respiratory system.

• The battery can be damaged bypointed objects such as nails orscrewdrivers or by force appliedexternally. An internal short circuitcan occur and the battery can burn,smoke, explode or overheat.

• If used incorrectly or if the batteryis damaged, flammable liquid maybe ejected from the battery. Contact with this liquid should beavoided. If contact accidentallyoccurs, rinse off with water. If theliquid comes into contact withyour eyes, seek additional medicalattention. Liquid ejected from thebattery may cause irritation or burns.

• Do not short-circuit the battery.There is a risk of explosion.

• Use only Bosch battery packs intended specifically for the ma-chine. Use of any other batterypacks may create a risk of injury andfire.

• Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting battery. Inserting the battery pack into machines that have the switch on cancause accidents.

• Only open the battery compartmentwhen the battery is exhausted.Leave the battery in the machine for storage in winter. The built-in batteryis very long-lasting; do not open thebattery compartment until you no-tice a significant reduction in the runtime betwen two battery chargingprocedures.

• • The Indego will operate between 5 °Cand 45 °C. If the battery temperatureis outside this range, the Indego willdisplay a message and will not leavethe docking station. If operating, theIndego will return to the docking station or stay in place.

• Recharge only in the Bosch ap-proved docking station.

Safety Warnings for Docking Station and Power Supply

• Only use the original Bosch docking station and power cord to charge the mower. Otherwise there is danger of fire and explosion.
• Check the docking station, power supply unit, cables and plugs periodically. If damage or ageing is detected, isolate from the docking station or power supply and do not use them. Never open the docking station or power supply yourself. Have repairs performed only by a qualified Bosch technician and only using original spare parts. A damaged docking station, power supply, cable or plug increases the risk of an electric shock.
• Do not operate the docking station and power supply on easily flammable surfaces (e. g., paper, textiles, etc.) or surroundings. The heating of the docking station and power supply during the charging process can pose a fire hazard.
• Supervise children at all times. This will ensure that children do not play with the docking station, power supply or the machine.
• The voltage indicated on the power supply must correspond to the voltage of the power source.
• We recommend that the power supply is only connected into a socket which is protected by a circuitbreaker that would be actuated by a 30 mA residual current. Check your Residual Current Device (RCD) at regular intervals.
• The supply cord must be inspected for signs of damage at regular intervals.
• In the event of flooding of the docking station turn off power supply at mains and contact Bosch Service Centre.
• Never touch the mains plug or any other plugs with wet hands.
• Do not run over, crush or pull the cables. Protect the cables from heat, oil and sharp edges.

The power supply is double insulated for safety and requires no earth connection. The operating voltage is 230 V AC, 50 Hz (for non-EU countries 220 V, 240 V as applicable). Contact your Bosch Service Centre for details. If in doubt contact a qualified electrician or the nearest Bosch Service Centre.

Installation

With the following QR code, you can view a video on how to install the mower under www.bosch-diy.com/indego-help.
Alternatively, follow the Installation Guide delivered with the product.

http://www.bosch-diy.com/indego-help

 Check if the perimeter wire is fully pegged to the ground avoiding any slack lengths of wire. Any loose wire can be a trip hazard.
Remove stones, loose pieces of wood, wire, live mains cables and other foreign objects from the cutting area.
Make sure that the cutting area is even and has no ditches, grooves and steep slopes above 15°/27 % that are clear obstructions for the mower.
The docking station must be positioned on the wire at an outer edge of the cutting area. It may not be positioned on the side of a tool or garden shed standing as an island within the lawn to be mowed.
It is recommended that you mow your lawn once with a conventional lawnmower before installing and before the first mowing of the new season and whenever the grass clippings would be longer than 5 mm.
The mower’s cutting system is designed to cut small lengths of grass (30–50 mm). The clippings can remain as mulch to fertilize the lawn. The height of cut for mower can be adjusted to 30, 40 and 50 mm.
It is recommended to start with a higher setting and then gradually decrease the height of cut as the wire disappears under the grass. This prevents your Indego from cutting the wire.
Additional perimeter wire can be added using a wire connector (see figures D–E).
The perimeter wire can be extended up to a maximum length of 250 m.
The perimeter wire can be buried up to 5 cm under the ground (or under non- metallic slabs).
To avoid causing damage to the perimeter wire, do not verticut or rake the area where it is positioned.
When laying out the wire avoid angles of less than 45°. This can affect the performance.

Adding a further Lawn Area (see figure k)

To install the Indego to an additional lawn area, please follow the instructions in the Installation Guide.
Separate lawn area with separate docking station (see figure H, right side): The mower can be used on up to three different lawn areas. For an additional lawn area, a separate docking station (see figure A) and the necessary perimeter wire and pegs are required. If a schedule or the „Bosch AUTO“ calendar function is selected it will cut the grass of the area is it in, within the time slots.
Switch off the mower when transporting it between different lawn areas.
Note: software updates have to be carried out on the mower in every docking station.
To help remember which docking station belongs to which garden, it is recommended to label the docking stations with the lawn area number and description when storing them for winter.
Without separate docking station: It is possible to connect the lawn areas by placing the perimeter wire between the two lawn areas parallel to each other as close as possible (see figure H, top left). The additional lawn area without docking station is not recorded in the map memory and the mower will not use the LogiCut cutting strategy in this lawn area without the docking station. The maximum recommended lawn area without a docking station is 40 m2 . The mower will mow until it runs out of battery and will need to be carried back to the docking station for charging.

Mowing

• Do not let children ride the mower.
• Press the stop button on top of the mower before lifting. Always lift the mower by its handle. (see figure F)

Make sure the cutting area is free of small animals such as hedgehogs or tortoises.
Only with Indego M 700: After successful installation youcan either immediately begin to mow by confirming “Mownow” on the display, or wait for the next scheduled cuttingperiod, as programmed by the “Bosch AUTO” CalendarFunction (previous setting required).
A manual mowing schedule can also be set up according toyour specific needs.Only with Indego M+ 700: After successful installation, youcan begin mowing immediately by confirming “Mow now”on the display, or on the free Bosch Smart Gardening App bypressing “mow”. You could also set up a programmedschedule, using the Bosch “SmartMowing” functionality,which can also plan future cutting sessions based on when itis forecasted to rain. You could also set up a programmedschedule in the calendar using the display or the BoschSmart Gardening App.
The mower must mow a garden 3 times completely (do 3 fullcuts) to learn the garden. During the learning phase, thevisual result may not be optimal.Approximate runtimes for complete garden coverage usingLogiCut are listed below. Please note that the runtimes willvary depending on the lawn complexity and number of ob-jects within the garden.
100m2…………….4h
500m2……………………16 h
700m2…………………22 h
Set a schedule with frequent repetitions. This achieves good mowing results, the battery charge will last longer and you avoid debris on the lawn.
When the mower is mowing
In “manual” mode, the mower works until the lawn is mowed. Mowing is interrupted only for charging the battery. When the lawn area is mowed, the mower returns to the docking station.
In the programmable „Schedule“ mode or with the „Bosch AUTO“ calendar function, the mower operates continuously for a set period of time. Mowing is interrupted only for charging the battery. If the lawn area is mowed before the time period expires, the  ower returns to the dock.
To stop mowing prematurely, press the Stop button or send the mower back to the docking station pressing the confirm button ✓.
With Indego M+ 700 you can send the mower back to thedocking station, by pressing the “Dock” button on the freeBosch Smart Gardening App.
Energy saving mode
The mower reduces its energy consumption by automatically switching off the power in the perimeter wire when it is not mowing and not being charged.
To wake up the mower manually from the energy saving mode, press the confirm button ✓and afterwards select either “Mow now” or another “Mowing mode”, while the mower is in the docking station.
With Indego M+ 700 you can wake up the mower remotelyfrom the energy saving mode, by pressing the “mow” buttonon the free Bosch Smart Gardening App.For mowing based on an active schedule or with the “BoschAUTO” calendar function or with the Bosch “SmartMow-ing” functionality, the energy saving mode is automatically ended.
Mowing small lawn areas with „SpotMow“
SpotMow is intended for mowing small areas that requirespecial treatment without having to mow the whole lawn,such as the area under a piece of garden furniture that hasbeen removed. The mower is positioned at the lower leftcorner of the intended area to mow (see figure H). The finalmowed area depends on the lawn conditions; it will not ne-cessarily be an exact square. After completion of „Spot-Mow“, follow the instructions on the screen.
Note: For safety reasons, „SpotMow“ cannot be used outsidethe perimeter wire
Sensors
The mower is equipped with the following sensors:
– The lift-up sensor is activated when the mower is lifted.
– The rollover sensor detects when the mower tips over.
– The tilt sensor is activated when the mower reaches a slope angle of 32°.
When one of the sensors is activated, e.g. the lift-up sensor, the drive motors and cutting blades are stopped. A message is indicated in the display, e.g. “lift-up”.
– The obstacle sensor detects objects/obstacles alongside the entire front edge of the mower and causes a change of direction.
Battery charging
The battery is equipped with temperature monitoring that allows charging only if the battery internal temperature is in the range between 5 °C and 45 °C.
The lithium-ion battery is supplied partially charged. It is recommended to charge the mower during installation of the perimeter wire in the docking station.
The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time without reducing its service life. Interrupting the charging procedure does not damage the battery.
When the battery is run flat or discharged, the mower is shut off by means of a protective circuit: the blades no longer move.
Replacing the Battery (see figure L)
Note:  The battery only needs to be replaced when it is ex-hausted. It is not intended to charge the battery outside themower.

• Using unsuitable batteries can lead to malfunctions ordamage the mower.
• Heavily used batteries may have a significant effect in themower run time.
• Do not use non-rechargeable batteries in the mower.Use only batteries specified by the manufacturer.

Note:  Always wear protective gloves when handling or work-ing near the sharp blades.
Switch off the mower by the isolator switch.
Remove the 5 screws of the battery compartment cover witha Torx T-20 screwdriver.Pivot the used battery with the guide rail out of the batterycompartment until the battery unlocking button can be seenand accessed. Press the battery unlocking button and remove the battery.
Insert the new battery into the guide rail until the lockingmechanism can be heard to engage. Pivot back the batterywith the guide rail into the battery compartment. Mount thebattery compartment cover and screw it tight with the 5screws.
