The basic principles for placing the antenna and the charging station are:
1. Remain a certain distance away (greater than 2 m/6.6 ) from houses, trees and walls.
2. Place the charging station and antenna in an open space with nothing blocking the signal (for example, the tree canopy or the sunshade
umbrella).
3. Place the charging station and the antenna on a flat non-hardened ground and keep them upright. DO NOT install them on a slope.
Choosing the antenna location is one of the most important steps in setting up your mower. The antenna needs to be installed in a place that
allows it to share as many Co-visible Satellites as possible with the mower from any point on your lawn. Otherwise, the mower will struggle to
locate itself accurately during mowing. For more information about the Co-visible Satellites, see 2.3.3 Verify Locations using Satellite Signal
Analyzer.
The guidelines for finding a proper location are:
• Choose an open area with no walls blocking views in any direction if possible. Make sure the sky directly above the antenna is not obstructed
by trees or roofs.
• If full openness on all sides can't be achieved, at least keep the southern sky clear when in the Northern Hemisphere, or the northern sky
when in the Southern Hemisphere. (If possible, try to keep the east and west sides clear of obstacles.)
If the signal reception is still poor, consider using one of the Navimow official accessories (see 1.8 Accessories):
• the Antenna Extension Pole to li up the antenna
• the Antenna Extension Kit to mount the antenna on a wall or roof for complex yards
The charging station determines the location where the mower will stay for charging. If the charging station is not properly located, the mower
may fail to start mowing due to weak GPS signal. You can locate the charging station close to the antenna, or ensure there are enough number of
Co-visible Satellites between the antenna and the mower.
Install the charging station on a so and flat surface. When placed outside, the charging station and the lawn should be kept at the same level.
• Make sure the sky view on the same side with the antenna is unobstructed
• Install it in an open space with nothing blocking the signal within a radius of 2 m (6.6 )
• Do not cover the charging station (the Navimow official Garage does not block signals)
• Stay away from sprinkler heads, fountains or other outdoor water systems
• Stay away from substations, generators, water pump stations and air conditioners
