square meters per hour and day listed in table Work
capacity.

If the working area is for example 360 m
2
in size, R70Li
must operate for 8 hours a day. The times are
approximate and depend for instance on grass quality,
blade sharpness and battery age.
WARNING: Use the timer to avoid mowing
when there are usually children, pets and
anything else that could be damaged by the
rotating blades on the lawn.
The factory setting for the timer is 07:00 - 22:00 for
GARDENA R38Li, R40Li, R45Li, R50Li and 07:00 -
23:00 for GARDENA R70Li, R80Li. It allows mowing
every day of the week. However, the robotic lawnmower
will not operate during the built-in standby period.
4.6.3 Example 1
The times used in this example are applicable to
GARDENA R40Li, but the principle is the same for other
models.
Timer setting, Period 1 : 07:00 - 22:00
Active period (A): 07:00 - 19:00
The factory setting ensures that the robotic lawnmower
begins cutting the lawn at 07:00. However the mower is
parked in standby mode in the charging station from
19:00 and rests until it starts cutting again at 07:00.
If the timer setting is divided into 2 work periods, the
standby period can be divided into a number of periods.
The minimum standby period time must however be
according to the Standby time table.
