It is always best to install a guide wire to help Automower® get home more quickly when needed. Note, the 115H requires a guide wire to return home.
While you can purchase your own wire, we recommend using the wire included with your Husqvarna installation kit as it's tested and proven for optimal performance.
Automower® PIN Support FAQs
To create your PIN code on your Automower® 415X, please follow the below setup instructions:
- Place the mower in the charging station.
- Turn on the mower. The first time you turn it on, the startup sequence will begin.
- You will be prompted to enter a PIN code, using the mower keyboard. Your code at startup should be 1111.
- You will then continue to select your settings. Push the arrow buttons and the OK button to select language, country, date and time.
- Once the startup settings are complete, you will be prompted to enter a new PIN code. This will become your personal PIN code for unlocking the mower in the future.
- Enter your unique 4 digit PIN code to complete setup. Note: It is not possible to use 0000 as a PIN code.
If you enter the wrong PIN code, you will be locked out of the mower for approximately 5 minutes. If you continue to enter the wrong PIN, you will continue to be locked out of the mower for increasing intervals, with a maximum of 4 hours between attempts. There is no way to override this lock. If your PIN isn’t working, wait until the mower is unlocked again and contact Customer Service at 833-991-ROBO (7626) from M-F 9am-6pm ET. Note: you may be asked for proof of purchase to verify product ownership.
