Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Switch OFF the mower before adjusting wiring.
- Check settings: In the mower menu or Gardena app, review the remote start settings and distances. Reset to default values and test.
- Inspect guide wire: Verify the guide wire is intact and correctly routed through the remote start area.
- Adjust boundary distance: Ensure the boundary wire is laid at the recommended distance from the guide wire to avoid signal interference.
- Test local start: Start the mower from the charging station to confirm basic operation, then re-test remote start.
If remote start errors persist with correct wiring, consult Gardena support for firmware updates or advanced diagnostics.
