Charging the battery before the first operation
You can charge the unit battery while running the setup of
the Perimeter Wire. This will ensure that the unit will be
ready for operation when the setup is completed.
The power of the mower is switched off when shipped
•
from the factory. Switch on the Safety Switch to power
on the mower.
Connect the DC Cable coming from the Power Box to the
•
Charging Socket at the rear side of the unit.
Confirm the Battery LED on the unit is blinking, which is
•
an indication of charging.
Leave the unit connected to the Power Box while

completing the setup of the Perimeter Wire.
