GETTING TO KNOW LANDROID M

HOW LANDROID WORKS

In the following section, we would like to help you better understand how Landroid works. Landroid is an autonomous machine, capable of operating on its own. It knows when it needs to go to its charging base, can sense when it is raining, can stop itself if it senses a problem, and knows to stop, draw back, and turn around when it bumps into something blocking its path. To prevent an accident, Landroid will also automatically stop its blade disc from rotating if it is lifted off the ground.

• Smart Auto Scheduling

  • Landroid programs itself, learns about your lawn, and builds the perfect schedule for it. Even though you can manually program it, we recommend you take advantage of this advanced auto-scheduling by connecting Landroid to the internet and using the free Landroid app.

    

• Charges Itself

  • When your Landroid needs to recharge, it will stop mowing and follow the boundary wire in a counter-clockwise direction back to its charging base. Once charging is complete, Landroid will automatically resume mowing or stay in the charging base according to its mowing schedule.

    

• Border Management

  • Landroid is programmed to mow the grass along the perimeter of your lawn once a week on Monday. If you want to change this preset, you can modify it via your smartphone or by using the control panel in the “Work time-Customize Work time” menus. See detailed instructions at the end of this manual.

    

• Rain Sensor

  • Landroid is 100% weatherproof and happy to be outside. But mowing wet grass does not give you the best finish or result. Landroid is equipped with a rain sensor that detects rain and tells Landroid to stop mowing and go back to its charging base.

    

• Rain Delay Time

  • After a rainfall, Landroid re-starts when the grass is no longer wet. The default Rain Delay time is 180 minutes. You can change the Rain Delay time setting via Landroid App or by using the control panel. See detailed instructions at the end of this manual.

    

• In More Extreme Weather…

  • In case of a lightning storm, protect Landroid by unplugging the charging base, disconnecting the boundary wire, and making sure Landroid is not allowed to charge. In the winter and especially in case of very cold weather and snow, we recommend you store your Landroid inside.

    

• No More Grass Clippings to Collect

  • Landroid’s daily mowing produces very short clippings that don’t need to be raked. These clippings are a perfect organic nutrient for your lawn. Frequent mowing boosts the density of grass blades and effectively prevents the propagation of weeds.

    

• Cut to Edge

  • Landroid M and L models have a cut-to-edge feature. The special offset blade gets as close as possible to the border of your lawn, leaving you little trimming to do.

    

• Cutting Height

  • Landroid L’s cutting height can be adjusted between 1.6” and 3.9” in 0.4” steps. The blade disc can be assembled in two ways as per the grass height. The original cutting height can be adjusted from 1.6” to 3.1”. When turning over the blade disc assembly, the cutting height can be adjusted from 2.4” to 3.9” with the blades on the bottom side of the blade disc. Before starting your Landroid for the first time, make sure your grass is no longer than 4”. If longer, use a regular mower to cut it before operating Landroid. If you want to drastically shorten the height of your grass, it is recommended that you do so progressively, by adjusting the cutting height in steps.

    

• Security & PIN Protection
  • To prevent unauthorized people from being able to use it, Landroid is protected by a PIN code that you can easily set up. If Landroid is connected to your Wi-Fi network, you can lock it on your smartphone through the app. If additional security is required, we even have a Find My Landroid option which allows you to track your Landroid via a built-in pre-paid SIM.

CONNECTING LANDROID TO THE INTERNET

Why Connect Landroid

Landroid is an IoT (Internet of Things) device. To get full functionality out of your Landroid and keep it always updated to the latest software, it must be connected to the internet via your Wi-Fi network or by using Find My Landroid Accessory.

BEFORE YOU START

1. Download the App: Download the free Landroid app first. Get it from Android (4.4.2 or higher) or Apple (iOS 11 or higher) app stores.

   

2. Ensure you have:
   • Your Wi-Fi network password

   • Landroid Serial Number: it can be found in the label under the rear bonnet of the machine. If you don’t want to type the 20-digit Serial Number, input it by scanning the QR code with your smartphone’s camera.

     

3. Check your Wi-Fi settings:

CONFIGURE LANDROID TO YOUR SPECIFIC NEEDS

You can supercharge your Landroid model with five unique options that can optimize the performance of Landroid to fit your unique garden and your individual needs. Here is a quick overview—for more information visit our website.

Intelligent Obstacle Avoidance with Ultrasonic Sensors

• Conventional robotic mowers are blind. They bump into objects and can easily get lost. Daily bumps also damage your trees, plants, and outdoor furniture. A Landroid fitted with the ACS option avoids all this: it steers effortlessly through obstacles.
• Landroid uses automotive-grade ultrasonic sensors to detect obstacles. Using this object awareness, Landroid’s auto-pilot technology steers to avoid them.

Off Limits Option

• Creates a boundary around areas of your lawn without the need to connect with your main boundary wire.
• You can use it to greatly simplify the installation of Landroid by removing the need to surround inner areas with the main boundary wire.
• It’s also great for making areas of your lawn temporarily off limits. For example, with seasonal equipment like a trampoline.
• Or, you can make a permanent change to your lawn without disturbing your original Landroid boundary wire.

RadioLink Option

Regular domestic Wi-Fi networks typically only cover a fraction of the entire garden—RadioLink solves this. It creates bomb-proof radio connectivity that extends as much as .3 miles from your Wi-Fi router.

Unleash the full potential of your Landroid’s advanced Artificial Intelligence with constant online connectivity thanks to the RadioLink option.

Find My Landroid

Protect your Landroid from theft using GPS combined with a mobile signal. Thanks to its cellular module, this accessory also eliminates the need for Wi-Fi or RadioLink to stay connected to the internet at all times.

• If your Landroid is taken outside its geofenced area, you will get immediately notified on your smartphone via the Landroid app. You will be able to lock the robot and track it. The GPS module will work even if the main battery is removed.
• Find My Landroid provides data connectivity with its multi-IMSI SIM card that works with a multitude of telecom providers, ensuring the best possible signal all the time.
