8. Cut the excess boundary wire using nippers leaving 1 cm of it from the connector.

9. Attach a connector to the other boundary wire in the same manner.
NOTE: Do not connect the connectors to the charging station at this time. The connection with the charging station is explained later in
"Connecting the Wires to the Charging Station" (page 27).
Making an island
If there are obstacles such as trees or rocks that cannot be cleared away in the mowing area, surround them with the boundary wire to make
islands.
• Install the boundary wire around obstacles to make islands. Use a narrow peg interval so that the distance from the obstacle is about 35 cm.
• Install two lines of the boundary wire going forth and back from the island close together (gap 0 cm). This will let the Robotic Mower traverse
the wires.
— Insert the two lines of boundary wire to the same peg.
NOTICE: Do not let the two lines of boundary wire cross each other. The Robotic Mower will stop due to an error.

• Make multiple islands as follows.

Making a sub area
If there is a separate work area to which a path that enables the Robotic Mower to navigate automatically from the charging station cannot be pro-
vided, that work area is designated as a sub area (b). The area with the charging station is the main area (a).
• It is necessary to turn off the power of the Robotic Mower and move the Robotic Mower by hand between the main area and the sub area.
• Place the boundary wire so that the path width between the main area and the sub area is 10 cm or less.
• The boundary wire must be laid in a single, unbroken line around the entire work area ((a) and (b)).
• When mowing the sub area, it is necessary to change the Robotic Mower settings. For details, refer to the Instruction Manual of this product.

Installing the Guide Wire
The guide wire leads the Robotic Mower to the charging station. This wire also guides the Robotic Mower to areas that the Robotic Mower works
less frequently due to topographical reasons, etc.
NOTE: Up to 2 guide wires can be installed.
NOTE: Do not branch the guide wire.

As shown in the figure, lay the guide wire at least 2 m straight from the charging
station. The Robotic Mower may not be able to return to the charging station.
- When making a curve, install the guide wire at an angle about 135°. The Robotic
Mower may not be able to return to the charging station at an angle less than 90°.
- Make sure that the straight diagonal line is at least 50 cm.
- If the guide wire is to be laid in a curved line, lay it so that the bend radius is 1 m
or more.
