Possible Causes

Incorrect guide wire routing, Obstruction blocking path to station, Dirty docking sensors, Weak boundary/guide signal near base

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF the mower before moving it.

  • Check for obstacles: Ensure there are no new objects, tall grass, or roots blocking the path to the station.
  • Review guide wire layout: Confirm the guide wire leads directly to the station entrance as per Honda's installation guide.
  • Clean sensors and contacts: Clean the docking sensors and charging contacts on both mower and station.
  • Test return function: Manually start a "Return to base" command and observe the route. Adjust guide wire or station position as needed.

If the mower consistently fails to find the station despite correct layout, the navigation sensors or station electronics may need service.
