*How to calculate the slope of your lawn:
The slope would be:
35 in. (Elevation)
= 35% (slope)
100 in. (Length)
Two stakes can be placed 100 inches apart. With one stake at the bottom of the slope and the other on the slope.
Tie a string to the bottom of the stake on the slope, ensure that it’s leveled and tie it to the other stake. Measure the
distance from the string to the ground. Use this value as the elevation in the formula.
You can place the charging station on your lawn or on a hard surface like a walkway, provided that the lawn and the hard surface are at
the same height (no steps).
For Landroid to successfully dock in the charging station, the following measures will need to be taken when laying the first segments of
boundary wire immediately entering and exiting the charging station.
1. For the boundary wire leaving the charging station:
- There should be a minimum of 12 in. of wire coming straight from the station before any turns are made (fig. 1, left side of station).
- If the yard layout is such that the boundary wire makes an immediate right turn (fig. 2), then the distance requirement is not necessary.
2. For the boundary wire entering charging station:
- There should be minimum of 31 in. of wire going straight to the station (fig. 1, fig. 2).
4. Placement of boundary wire on slopes
Landroid can handle slopes and inclines up to 35% or 20°. Ensure that when you place the boundary wire, you do not place it at the
bottom of the slope or incline of 17-35% to account for the extra gravitational force Landroid will have to overcome.

3. Charging station checklist:
A. Within reach of AC outlet (GFCI outlet recommended).
B. In the shade (if possible).
C. Straight path on entrance; straight path on exit if necessary
(fig. 1, fig. 2).
D. Flat land (fig. 3).
E. No irrigation sprinklers nearby.
