2.  Connect the transformer’s low voltage cable to the charging station and the transformer.
3.  Connect the transformer to a 230 V wall socket.

Charging the battery and placement of the boundary wire

See chapter 3.3 and 3.4 in the Installation Manual

1. Place the robotic lawnmower in the charging station to charge the battery while the boundary wire is laid.
   Set the main switch to position 1.

2.  Run the boundary wire ensuring it forms a loop around the work area.

3.  Make an eyelet at the point where the guide wire will be connected later (see point 4.5).

Connecting the boundary wire

See chapter 3.5 in the Installation Manual

1. Open the connector and lay the wire ends in the recesses on each connector.
2.  Press the connectors together using a pair of pliers.
3. Cut off any surplus boundary wire. Cut 1 to 2 cm above the connectors.
4. Press the connectors onto the contact pins, marked A, on the charging station. It is important that the right-hand wire is connected to the right-hand contact pin, and the left-hand wire to the left-hand pin.

Placement of and connecting the guide wire

See chapter 3.6 in the Installation Manual

1. Run the guide wire through the slot at the bottom of the charging station.
2. Fit the connector to the guide wire in the same way as for the boundary wire, according to the instructions above.
3.  Fasten the connector to the contact pin marked Guide on the charging station.
4.  Lay the guide wire at least 2 metres straight out from the front edge of the charging station.
5. Run the guide wire to the point on the boundary loop the connection will be made. Avoid laying the wire at tight angles.
6.  Cut the boundary wire with a wire cutters at the centre of the eyelet that was made in point 2.3.
7. Connect the guide wire to the boundary wire using the accompanying couplers. Press the couplers completely together with a pair of pliers.

Adjust the robotic lawnmower to suit your garden

See chapter 6.3, 6.4 and 6.5 in the Installation Manual
Here you will fi nd some tips on important settings for your robotic lawnmower.
All settings for your robotic lawnmower are made via the menu functions.
Adjust the mower to suit the size of your lawn
The mowing results depend on mowing time. Adjust the mowing time to suit your garden using the Timer function. If the mower cuts too often, the lawn will appear trampled down.
If the mower cuts too seldom, the lawn will not be properly mown.
Timer
You decide what times during the day and days of the week the mower is to work. The robotic lawnmower mows about 30 m2 per hour and day. For example; if your garden consists of 360 m2 of grass, the robotic lawnmower should work on average 12 hours per day.

Test run the mower through narrow passages
Narrow passages in the garden make it diffi cult for the mower to fi nd the charging station. Use the Calibrate guide function for the Flymo 1200R to test that the mower can travel through the narrowest passage.

1. Place the mower in the charging station.
2. Select Calibrate guide in the robotic lawnmower’s menu and press OK. Then press the Start button and close the cover.
3. Check that the mower follows the guide wire through the passage.
   a. If the mower travels through the passage, the test is complete.
   b. If the robotic lawnmower does not get through the passage: Check that the guide wire has been laid according to the instructions in chapter 3.6 in the Installation Manual.
