Installation Instructions
How to update the firmware
- Copy the file(s) on an empty USB stick. For some models, the download is a zip folder containing multiple files. In this case, unzip the zip folder before you drag the files onto the empty USB stick. You can do this by right-clicking on the zip folder, selecting Extract, and then following the on-screen instructions. The USB stick itself must not contain any folders.
- Before starting the installation of the firmware update, place the robot mower in the mowing area. The robot mower must not be in the charging station during the software update.
- Turn on the main switch on the mower and enter the boot mode by pressing the “Power” and “OK” buttons simultaneously for 4 seconds. In boot mode, all LEDs will light up.
- Then start the update process by pressing the lock button. The LEDs will indicate the progress of the update process, which may take a few minutes. Do not switch off the robot mower during this process. An audible signal will confirm successful completion of the update.
- Once the mower has been restarted using the main switch, it can begin working again. Do not forget to remove the USB stick afterwards.
