Robot mower occasionally leaves the charging station during prohibited times (e.g., at night or during rain).

Safety first: Ensure the mower is not operating in unsafe conditions such as thunderstorms or extreme weather.

• Review schedule: Check the mowing schedule in the menu or app. Disable any additional schedules or test programs.
• Check time and date: Verify that the internal clock is set correctly. Adjust if necessary.
• Test rain sensor: Simulate rain by gently wetting the rain sensor (if external) and confirm the mower responds appropriately. Clean the sensor if dirty.
• Firmware update: Install any available firmware updates from AL-KO that may address scheduling issues.
• Sensor replacement: If the mower ignores rain or schedule settings, replace the rain sensor or have the main PCB checked.
