4. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Navimow i206 AWD, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips.

4.1 Mower Not Starting or Charging

• Ensure the mower is correctly docked in the charging station.
• Check that the charging station is powered on and the power adapter is securely connected.
• Verify that the battery is not completely depleted. Allow some time for initial charging if the mower has been stored for a long period.

4.2 Signal Loss or Poor Navigation

• Ensure the GNSS antenna is installed correctly and has an unobstructed view of the sky.
• Check for any new obstructions (e.g., tall trees, buildings) that might interfere with satellite signals in the mowing area.
• If operating in areas with limited satellite visibility, the mower may experience temporary navigation issues.
• Verify your Wi-Fi connection for app communication and RTK network access.

4.3 Mapping Issues

• Ensure the mower has a strong and stable signal during the mapping process.
• If maps disappear or are inaccurate, try re-mapping the area in conditions with better signal reception.
• Confirm that the app is updated to the latest version.

4.4 Mower Stuck or Not Moving

• Check for physical obstructions (e.g., large branches, garden tools) in the mower's path.
• Inspect the wheels and cutting deck for debris or grass buildup that might impede movement.
• If the mower is on a very steep or slippery surface, its traction control might be engaged.
