Q3: Does the robotic lawn mower need to be connected to the internet during a mowing operation?

A: Connect the robotic lawn mower through Bluetooth. Remotely control the robotic lawn mower to create the map and start the mowing task. It does not need to stay online when mowing. If you want to acquire the real-time mowing status, it is necessary to connect the robotic lawn mower to the Internet.

Q4: When creating a map, is a Wi-Fi connection needed in the yard?

A: No. You can remotely control the robotic lawn mower to create a map with your mobile phone through Bluetooth. After the map is created, you can set scheduled tasks in the app to allow the robotic lawn mower to perform the daily mowing tasks.

Q5: Can it work normally without a network?

A: When the robotic lawn mower is used for the first time, you can connect it to the backstage through the built-in 4G network of the e-SIM card or the Wi-Fi for activation and registration. Once activated, the robotic lawn mower can be controlled through Bluetooth if the network is lost in daily operations. When a map is available, the robotic lawn mower can mow the lawn with the positioning and navigation via the satellite signals even if both the Bluetooth and network are disconnected after the task starts. You cannot acquire the real-time working data of the robotic lawn mower in the app.

Q6: Can I remotely control the robotic lawn mower through the app?

A: After the robotic lawn mower is connected to the built-in 4G or WI-FI network, you can set the task performed by the robotic lawn mower or remotely start or pause on-going tasks through the app. However, when the robotic lawn mower is used for the first time, it is necessary to connect it through Bluetooth, and remotely control it to create a map via the app.

Q7: Can I replace the e-SIM card with another SIM card? How do I renew my data traffic subscription?

A: The e-SIM card built in the robotic lawn mower cannot be replaced. Free data traffic is provided for one year currently. The basic functions are still available after the data traffic expires, but the mobile phone cannot receive the real-time working status of the mower. You cannot check the pushed position information or check the position of the mower if it is lost. When the data traffic expires, users can renew their subscriptions in the app.

Q8: Will any other expense be incurred during the use of the product? For example, subscription fee, data traffic charge and the like.

A: No other expenses will be incurred during the use of the product. We provide free data traffic for one year. You should renew the subscription in the app after it expires.

Q9: What is the largest communication range between the robotic lawn mower and the charging station?

A: The wireless communication range between the charging station and the robotic lawn mower is up to 300m (984ft) in an open and unobstructed environment. The actual operation range of the robotic lawn mower will be affected by the obstruction from surrounding buildings and the like.

Q10: If the robotic lawn mower will not be used for a short time (within a week), should I disconnect the power supply or detach it from the charging station?

A: If the robotic lawn mower will not be used for a short time, you are recommended to shut down the robotic lawn mower after it is fully charged and disconnect the power supply of the charging station. It is not necessary to disconnect the charging station and the robotic lawn mower. If the mower will be stored for a long time, you are recommended to charge it every six months.

Q11: How often should I charge the robotic lawn mower to prevent over-discharging the battery when it is stored for a long time?

A: When the mower is off, the power consumption of the Battery Management System (BMS) is about 20uA (max), and that of the battery cell and the BMS is about 2% of the battery every month. Considering the activity of the chemical substances in the battery cell, you are recommended to charge the battery once every 6 months when the mower is stored for a long time. You are also recommended to fully charge the battery before the mower is stored.

Q12: Where is the optimal position to install the GNSS antenna?

A: The GNSS antenna is used to receive satellite signals, so it is necessary to be installed in an open outdoor place, where there are no buildings or trees above the antenna, and the distance between the antenna and the surrounding obstacles is above 2m (6.6ft). Confirm that the satellite signal is good and fix the antenna extension cable.

Q13: What does an orange taillight signal indicate?

A: When the taillight signal is orange, the satellite signal is weak, and it is impossible to start the map creation or mowing tasks. The task can only be started when the taillight is pulsing blue. The signal search may last for ten minutes.

Q14: Can I control multiple robotic lawn mowers simultaneously via the same app?

A: Yes, you can add different robotic lawn mowers to the app by searching for Bluetooth signals to control them.

Q14: I have a front yard and a back yard; can I use the robotic lawn mower?

A: The robotic lawn mower supports multi-zone mowing. You can set both the front yard and the back yard as mowing zones.

Q15: How many zones does the robotic lawn mower support on the same map?

A: The robotic lawn mower currently supports up to two zones, and more zones through a firmware update later. When creating a map through the app, first select “Lawn” to create a map of the first mowing zone. Then remotely control the robotic lawn mower to move to another mowing zone to create the second map. Select “Path” after the maps are created and set the route to connect to the first zone for connecting multiple zones.

Q15: Can the robotic lawn mower save multiple maps?

A: The number of zones will increase in the future, but currently only one working zone map can be saved.

Q16: How to prevent the robotic lawn mower from falling into a pond or falling from a height?

A: Set the pond or other areas which the mower can easily fall into as the “restricted zones” in the mobile app, and the robot will automatically avoid such zones when mowing.

Q17: What is the minimum distance between the robotic lawn mower and a pond or flowing water when mowing?

A: The minimum recommended distance from the lake is 1m (3.28ft).

Q18: If the charging station or the GNSS antenna is moved, is it necessary to re-create a map?

A: Every time the charging station and the GNSS antenna is moved, it is necessary to re-create a map. If the positions of the antenna and charging station remain unchanged when they are reused in the next year, it is not necessary to re-create a map.

Q19: Why does the robotic lawn mower mow the lawn unevenly sometimes?

A: 1. Please check the cutting blade and the height of grass. If the cutting blade is blunt, replace them with new ones. If the grass is too high, please cut the grass to expected height with a hand mower first.

2. If the actual height of grass is significantly larger than the set cutting height, the robotic lawn mower needs multiple (>5) cycles to achieve the set mowing height.

Q20: Should I sharpen the spare blade? How frequently?

A: The spare blades are replaceable, so the user does not need to sharpen them. You are recommended to replace the three spare blades every quarter. Take care to protect your hands when replacing them to avoid accidental injury.

Q21: The grass in my lawn is high. Do you have some tips for me when using the mower?

A: The robotic lawn mower can identify the grass through AI and perform the mowing task. If the grass is too high and too dense, the sensor of the robotic lawn mower may identify it as an obstacle, leading to obstacle avoidance action. If you must mow this zone, please cut the grass to 80mm (3.15in) by using a hand mower before it performs the automatic mowing task.

Q22: What is the smallest obstacle that the robotic lawn mower can identify?

A: The size of the smallest obstacle identifiable to the robotic lawn mower is 40×40mm (1.58×1.58in). But its colour should be significantly different from that of the lawn, and it should be higher than the grass.

Q23: What should I do when the wheel is stuck?

A: 1. Check whether the wheel is stuck in sand, gravel and other soft ground or deep trench. In such a case, you can set the soft foundation as a restricted zone in the app, or fill the trench for a flat ground;

2. Check whether the tire is covered by a lot of soil, grass clippings etc;
3. Check whether any foreign matter is stuck near the tire or the BLADE disc, and clean the tire and its accessories when necessary. If the wheel is damaged, please contact the after-sales service.

Q23: Can the robotic lawn mower work in the rain, snow, hail, or fog?

A: The robotic lawn mower can work in the rain, but mowing in the rain may harm the lawn. When mowing in the rain, the grass will attach to the equipment, and the robotic lawn mower is prone to skidding on the wet lawn. Avoid mowing the lawn in severe weather conditions, such as heavy rain, thunderstorm, or heavy snow.

Q24: How to check the serial number of the product?

A: There are 3 ways to check the serial number (SN):

1 Check the packing box. An SN label is attached on the side of the packing box.

2 After removing the battery compartment cover, scan the QR code shown in the figure to check the SN.

Q25: Can the robotic lawn mower be connected to an EcoFlow Smart Extra Battery?

A: If the adapter plug specifications and electrical parameters are matched, the robotic lawn mower can be used normally with its AC adapter connected to the AC output of the EcoFlow Smart Extra Battery (such as RIVER 2, RIVER Pro, RIVER mini, DELTA, DELTA Pro, DELTA Max, DELTA 2 and others). The robotic lawn mower will be placed and used outdoors for a long time, so you are recommended to purchase an off-grid battery solution.

Q26: The rain detection triggered, and my robotic lawn mower returns to the charging station even if it’s not raining. Why?

A: 1. Please regularly check whether there are foreign substances above the rain sensor. Please remove any foreign substance (if any) with a small brush;

2. If the sensor still cannot work normally after the foreign substances are removed, please contact the after-sales service for troubleshooting

Q27: What should I do when the container is full?

A: When the container is full, the app will prompt that “Fallen leaves container is full. Please clean it soon”. Please manually empty the leaves from the container, so that the mower can continue the cleaning task.
