3.15.5 Backlight, Flymo 1200R
To indicate where the robotic lawnmower is at night in
the working area, it is possible to allow the display to
remain on when the robotic lawnmower is in operation:
1. Select
Backlight in the menu and press OK.
2. Select one of the following options:
•
Auto: The display is lit for 1 minute after the
latest key press.
•
ON: The display is lit all the time when the
robotic lawnmower operates. The display is not
lit when the robotic lawnmower is stopped due
for instance to a timer setting or possible
disruption.
3.15.6 Remote start, Flymo 1200R
One important function with the guide wire is the
capacity to steer the robotic lawnmower to remote
garden areas when required. This function is very useful
in gardens where, for instance, the front and back are
joined by a narrow passage where the charging station
cannot be installed.

With this function activated, (any option other than
Never is selected) the robotic lawnmower will follow the
guide wire from the charging station to the point where
the guide wire connects to the boundary wire. It begins
to mow when it reaches this point. How often it must
follow the guide wire from the charging station is
selected as a proportion of the total number of times it
leaves the charging station. At all other times, the
robotic lawnmower leaves the charging station in the
standard manner and starts to mow.
The following five options can be selected:
1.
Never (0%)
2.
Rarely (approx. 20%)
3.
Medium (approx. 50%)
4.
Often (approx. 80%)
5.
Always (100%)
Select the percentage that corresponds to the size of the
remote area relative to the total working area. If the
remote area is for instance less than half of the total
working area, then
Rarely should be selected. If the
remote area is for instance half of the total working area,
Medium should be selected. Compare with the
Yard layout examples on page 27
The default setting is
Rarely.
3.15.7 Calibrate guide, Flymo 1200R
The
Calibrate guide function allows you to test if the
robotic lawnmower can follow the guide wire out from
the charging station.
To test the guide wire:
1. Place the robotic lawnmower in the charging station.
2. Select
Calibrate guide and press OK. The robotic
lawnmower will now leave the charging station, run a
calibration process in front of the charging station
and then follow the guide wire to the connection
point with the boundary wire and then start mowing.
3. Check that the robotic lawnmower can follow the
guide wire all the way to the connection point with
the boundary wire.
The test has failed if the robotic lawnmower cannot
follow the guide wire all the way to the connection point
with the boundary wire. It is likely that the installation
has not been carried out in accordance with the
instructions in
Installation of the guide wire on page 18.
Common errors are for instance that there is not enough
open space to the left of the guide wire as seen facing
the charging station or that the guide wire is not laid at
an angle on a steep slope. See
the guide wire on page 18.
Rectify the installation and run a new test with
Calibrate
guide.
3.15.8 Reset user settings
This function allows you to reset the robotic lawnmower
to factory default settings.
