Keeping your lawn in top shape just got easier with the introduction of smart lawnmowers like Navimow. These wireless robot mowers save time, effort, and energy while delivering a perfectly manicured lawn. With AI-powered features and an easy-to-use app, setting up and maintaining your smart lawn mower is a breeze. In this blog, we'll guide you through simple steps to get your automatic mower up and running—and keep it optimized for years to come.
Quick Installation with Antenna Location Finder
The first step in setting up your Navimow smart lawn mower is to position the charging dock and antenna base properly. This is where the antenna location finder shines. Using this tool, you'll identify the ideal placement to ensure strong communication between the charger and mower.
Installation Steps:
a. Choose the Right Spot
Launch the Navimow app and activate antenna location finder mode. The aim is to position the dock centrally in the lawn with minimal obstructions—trees, garden furniture, walls, or sheds can all interfere with the signal.
b. Install Dock and Antenna
Follow the app's instructions: anchor the antenna base in the ground or on a stable platform, and position the charging dock nearby. For the i105 model, the dock anchors securely in place. Once connected, the antenna relays satellite positioning data to the mower, ensuring cm-level accuracy with EFLS™ 2.0.
c. Connect to Power
Plug the charging dock into a reliable outdoor power outlet—ideally protected against rain. Place your Navimow i105 on the dock to initiate charging. It's recommended to let it reach a full 100% charge before initiating mapping or mowing routines.Once complete, your mower is ready to move on to automatic mapping.
2. AI‑Assisted Mapping for Wire‑Free Setup
One of the most advanced features of Navimow is its AI-Assisted Mapping, which enables boundary-free mowing without laying perimeter wires.
How it Works:
a. Start Mapping
After dock installation, turn on the mower and launch the mapping feature in the app. The i105 (for up to 600 m² / ~0.15 acres) and i110 (up to 1000 m² / ~0.25 acres) automatically begin scanning your yard.
b. Edge Detection & Obstacle Recognition
Navimow uses VisionFence (140° fish-eye camera + AI algorithms) to detect lawn edges, obstacles such as trees, and changes in terrain—all in real time. The EFLS™ 2.0 system integrates GNSS and vision to provide centimeter-level navigation—even under tree cover or in narrow corridors.
c. Set Virtual Boundaries & Zones
With maps generated, you can draw virtual boundaries via the app. Use multi-zone control to designate different mowing areas—perfect for front/back yards, flower beds, play zones, or remote garden patches—without manual wires.This wire-free system saves installation time and offers flexibility for future landscape changes.
3. Autonomous Mowing with Customizable Schedules
Once mapping is complete, Navimow becomes your lawn's silent caretaker.
a. Access Scheduling Options
In the app's "Mowing Schedule" section, specify the days and times for mowing. Both i105 and i110 support flexible calendar scheduling.b. Choose Frequency & Duration
Depending on your lawn size, schedule mowing sessions daily or weekly. Each full charge on the i105 runs approximately 60 minutes, covering 60–100 m² per hour; the i110, with a larger battery, runs around 120 minutes, covering 80–120 m² per hour.c. Smart Recharge & Resume
If battery levels run low mid-task, Navimow automatically returns to the dock. Once charged to ~95%, it resumes exactly where it left off—minimizing interruption and completing the job efficiently.With autonomous scheduling and self-docking, mowing becomes a "set it and forget it" part of your routine.
4. Child Lock for Enhanced Safety
Safety is a top priority when using any automated outdoor equipment—especially in homes with young children or curious pets. Navimow is designed with user protection in mind, and one of its key safety features is the Child Lock. This intelligent function helps prevent accidental starts or unintended use, ensuring that your smart lawn mower only operates when you want it to.
a. Enable Child Lock via the App
Activating the child lock is straightforward. Simply open the Navimow app, navigate to the safety settings, and tap to turn on the child lock feature. Once activated, the physical start button on the mower is completely disabled, meaning the mower cannot be manually started, even if someone presses the button repeatedly. This feature is especially useful if your mower is parked in an accessible area where children might be playing.
b. Secure and Controlled Operation
When the child lock is enabled, Navimow will refuse to start any mowing operation unless the lock is first disabled via the app. This ensures that even if children or pets interact with the mower out of curiosity, they cannot accidentally activate the cutting blades. It also prevents unwanted startups due to accidental button presses, adding an extra layer of control and peace of mind for parents and pet owners.
c. Deactivate When Ready
When you're ready to use the mower again, disabling the child lock is just as easy. Open the app, return to the safety settings, and toggle the feature off. This process takes only a few seconds, offering a seamless balance between security and convenience.
With the Navimow Child Lock feature, you can rest assured that your mower is safe, secure, and only active when you intend it to be.
