4. Setup
4.1 Charging Station Placement
Select a suitable location for the charging station. It should be on a flat surface, preferably in the shade, and close to a power outlet. Ensure there is enough clear space around the station for the mower to dock easily.
4.2 Boundary Wire Installation
The boundary wire defines the mowing area for your robotic lawn mower. Plan the layout carefully to include all areas you wish to mow and exclude obstacles or restricted zones.
- Lay the boundary wire around the perimeter of your lawn, ensuring it is taut and at the recommended distance from edges and obstacles.
- Use the provided fixing hooks to secure the wire to the ground. The wire will eventually be overgrown by grass.
- Connect the ends of the boundary wire to the charging station as per the diagram in the full manual.
- Ensure the wire forms a continuous loop for the mower to detect it correctly.

4.3 Battery Insertion and Initial Charge
The FREELEXO 450 BT Solo uses an 18V Power X-Change battery (not included in this 'Solo' model, but compatible with the series). Insert a charged battery into the designated compartment on the mower. Place the mower in the charging station to ensure it is fully charged before its first operation.
