No remote guide wire follow — Mower starts mowing instead of following guide wire to remote area

What does No remote guide wire follow mean?

After reversing out of the charging station, the Automower turns a full circle to find the guide wire signal but fails to find sufficient strength, leading it to start mowing instead of following the guide wire to a remote area.

• Automower does not find the strength on the loop signal that the set corridor width corresponds to.
• Guide wire not routed correctly (should be at least 130 cm/52 inches straight back from charging station edge).

Click steps to track your progress.

1. 1

   Check that the guide wire has been routed correctly, at least 130 cm (52 inches) straight back, out from the edge of the charging station.

2. 2

   Adapt the adjustable reversing length accordingly.

3. 3

   Try a different corridor width; a greater corridor width usually improves the function.

4. 4

   Check the loop signal strength and compare with Table 8 and Table 9 in the manual.
