Robot mower sometimes fails to return to the charging station and stops with an empty battery somewhere in the lawn.

Possible Causes
Guide wire layout suboptimal, Obstacles blocking direct path to station, Dirty charging contacts causing misalignment, Station installed on uneven ground
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn OFF the mower before moving the station or adjusting wires.
- Check station placement: Ensure the charging station is on a level surface with a straight approach path as specified by Cedrus.
- Optimize guide wire: If your model uses a guide wire, route it along a clear path from remote areas back to the station, avoiding tight corners.
- Remove obstacles: Clear objects that may block the mower's approach to the station, such as pots, hoses, or low branches.
- Clean contacts and rails: Clean the station's contact rails and the mower's contact pads to improve docking detection.
- Increase return margin: If configurable, adjust settings so the mower returns to base with more remaining battery capacity.
