Creating stay-out zones with AIM Technology

Only applies to Automower® models that support AIM technology:

With the AIM Technology in your Automower® robotic lawn mower, you can create stay-out zones around areas of your lawn that you do not want the mower to enter, such as areas with newly sown grass or spring flowers. These zones can be activated or deactivated but not scheduled, and you can name them as desired.

Stay-out zones can be created almost anywhere on the lawn, except where the charging station or guide wire are located, as this will prevent the mower from following the guide wire to and from the charging station.

How to create a stay-out zone using AIM Technology

1. In the Automower® Connect app, select Map.
2. Tap the plus sign (+) to create a new map object.
3. Select Add stay-out zone.
4. Move the waypoints to cover the desired area on your map. Reposition any point by tapping on it again. To move the whole shape, tap and hold inside the zone and drag to reposition.
5. Rename the zone.
6. Use the slider to activate or deactivate the zone.

Recommendations for stay-out zones

• Include as long sections of the boundary wire as possible inside the stay-out zone. This helps the mower navigate around the zone.
• Never use a stay-out zone created with AIM Technology to stop your mower from running into a swimming pool or the street. Always fence off such areas using the boundary wire and a barrier of minimum 15 cm/6 in. in height.
• Do not let the stay-out zone cover the charging station, as this will prevent the mower from operating.
• Do not let the stay-out zone cover a part of the guide wire, as this will prevent the mower from returning to the charging station when it needs to charge.
• Do not let the stay-out zone block a passage if you want the mower to enter the passage.
