Calibration of guide is done automatically rst time the mower leaves the charging station in the
following situations:
• New mower rst start up
• Always at Test Out
• After changing guide width to Medium or Wide
• After performing Factory reset
• After changing main circuit board
• After main software update
Sub System Software
In mower menu Tools -> Info -> General, the line “Sub-ver” has been added. That software controls the cutting motor. The Sub system software is updated together with the Main and MMI softwares when Automatic programming is done in Autocheck EXP.
Test Out and Test In
As a result of improved Calibration of Guide some changes have been done in the Test Out and
Test In procedure.
• Test Out must be done before Test In.
• If Test In is done before Test Out the mower will run on top of wire to the charging station,
irrespective of guide width setting. This should not be considered as a valid test.
Demo mode
Demo mode is available in menu Tools -> Special Settings -> Demo Mode. In demo mode
Automower® 305 works without starting the blade disc. The mower varies running with charging at
four minute intervals.
Note!
- It is strongly recommended to use demo mode whenever running Automower®
in public demo areas, for example inside a dealer’s shop. Blade disc is
switched off in demo mode for increased safety.
- Always remove the blades from the blade disc whenever Automower® is
demonstrated in public areas for increased safety.
- Demonstration of Automower® without using demo mode may only be done if
the mower is constantly under observation.
