  Jodi ButlerAug 30, 2025
  The Robomow Lawn Mower displays 'Check signal Press GO' because there is no fitting between the 'Signal type' setting and the signal jumper, automatic operation is initiated outside the perimeter wire, the perimeter wire is connected with the wrong polarity, or there's signal interference. Set the 'Signal type' menu to 'A' and confirm the jumper is installed, or set it to 'B' and remove the jumper. Place the mower inside the lawn. Change the wires connected to the plot connector. Call service for help in case of signal interference.
