Chapter 4 - Text Messages and Troubleshooting
4.1 Messaging
Robomow is equipped with an LCD panel that will notify you in the form of a text message when common
operational faults occur to instruct the user to perform a certain function or action.
If the LCD screen is blank, pressing the ‘
GO’ button one time will wake the mower up and the last fault or
message displayed prior to stopping will now be displayed. If a specific problem re-occurs, it is
recommended to identify the fault code prior to calling for service. Pressing the
‘UP’ arrow once, while the
message is displayed, is a shortcut button to display the
‘Last stop cause’ (refer to paragraph 2.3.5).
