Possible Causes

Obstructed search wire path, Boundary layout too complex, Software navigation bug, Faulty search wire sensor in mower

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Once found, turn OFF the mower before moving it.

  • Review boundary and search wire layout: Ensure the search wire provides a clear path from remote areas back to the station, avoiding tight loops and dead ends.
  • Check for obstacles: Remove new obstacles (furniture, toys, branches) that may block the mower's return path.
  • Test search wire detection: Start a manual return‑to‑home function if available and observe whether the mower follows the search wire.
  • Service sensor: If the mower fails to detect the search wire, the internal search wire sensor or mainboard input may need replacement.
