4. Setup and Installation
Proper setup is crucial for the optimal performance and safety of your robotic lawnmower.
4.1 Charging Station Placement
Choose a flat, level area with access to a power outlet. The charging station should be placed in a shaded area if possible, and away from direct sunlight or heavy rain. 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. Lay the wire around the perimeter of your lawn, ensuring it is taut and secured with the provided pegs. Maintain a minimum distance from obstacles such as walls, fences, and ponds as specified in the detailed installation guide. Create islands around flowerbeds or trees that you do not wish to be mowed.
4.3 Initial Charging
Before first use, fully charge the robotic lawnmower. Place the mower manually onto the charging station, ensuring the charging contacts align. The indicator light on the charging station will confirm charging status.

5.2 Bluetooth App Control
Download the Yard Force app from your device's app store. Follow the in-app instructions to pair your MB800. The app allows you to:

5.3 Cutting Height Adjustment
The cutting height can be adjusted between 20mm and 60mm. Refer to the specific mechanism on your mower, usually a dial or lever, to set the desired height. For best results, gradually reduce the cutting height over several mowing sessions if your grass is very long.
