Note:
The power supply is suitable for outdoor use, yet it is required placing it in a sheltered
place, dry location, which is well ventilated and not exposed to direct sunlight.
WARNING!
Serious Injury Can Occur! When placing the
power cord leading to the Base Station,
insure it is fastened securely to the ground
and does not present a tripping hazard.
Do not cross over surfaces such as
sidewalks and driveways where it cannot be
fastened securely.
Place the Base Station
at least one-meter from corners
;
Position the Base Station with its
fence facing to the inside of the lawn
;
Robomow is impervious to water and rain, however it is recommended to place the Base Station
away from sprinkler heads
for maximum protection.

1.2.2 Multiple Zones/Areas And Narrow Passages
Your home may require more than one zone to be set up in order for the Robomow to work in all
of your lawn effectively. Where grass areas are not contiguous, or are separated by fences,
sidewalks or other objects, it is required to make each of these a separate zone.
When setting separated zones there are two options to lay the wire:
Option A: All zones are looped together and connected to the Base Station. Perimeter wire can
be as long as 500 meters (1650ft) in one loop when connected to the Base Station (Figure 1.4).
Option B: There are separated zones that connected to the Base Station and the Perimeter
Switch (available as an accessory- see Chapter 7). The Perimeter Switch can be moved between
different zones (Figure 1.5).
To mow other areas, simply drive or carry Robomow to the area you want to mow and operate it.
In this way, if one zone needs a shorter operating time than another, it can easily be set (Chapter
2.1.2). When this area is completed, drive the mower back to the station for re-charging.
