3. INSTALLATION
3.9 Activate the GPS anti-theft
protection area
Before the anti-theft protection area can be activated, a
SIM card must be installed and the administrator’s
phone number must be entered into the GPS
communication unit (
see 4.3 Using
GPS-communication on page
38).
1. Place Automower
®
at the centre of the required
protection area, often in the middle of the lawn
Automower
®
is going to mow. Avoid placing
Automower
®
under trees, roofs or close to a
house, as this weakens the GPS signal.
2. Set the main switch to the
ON
position.
3. Go to the mower's
Security (4-1)
menu, enter
your PIN code and press
YES
. Place the cursor
on
GPS (4-1-4)
and press
YES
. Select
ON
to
activate and press
YES
. Make sure that
Alarm
(4-1-3) and Time lock (4-1-2)
are activated for
total functionality. The GPS unit now
automatically indexes the position as the central
point. This can take up to 15 minutes.
4. Leave the mower in the same position until the
GPS unit confirms the central point by sending
an SMS containing the text
Circular geofence On
followed by the GPS coordinates for the central
point.
5. Automower
®
has now an activated circular
protection area with a radius of 100 metres from
the central point. If the mower is moved outside
the protection area, an alarm is triggered and the
GPS communication unit sends an SMS alert
message to the designated phone numbers. If
required, the radius can be increased (see
4.3
Using GPS-communication
on page 38).
You can deactivate the GPS anti-theft protection at any
time by going to the mower’s
Security
menu, entering
your PIN code and deactivating the
GPS (4-1-4)
. This
may be of use, when the mower for instance must be
transported to your dealer for a winter service.
