What does a flashing green light on the Automower® charging station mean?

If the charging station LED is flashing green, ECO mode is active and your installation is functioning normally. In ECO mode, the loop signal is off while the mower is parked, which helps save energy and can reduce interference with nearby electronic devices. No action is needed if you’re waiting for the next scheduled start - the loop signal will switch on automatically when the mower is due to begin mowing.

How ECO mode affects the charging station

• Flashing green light = ECO mode is active.
• The loop signal is off when the mower is in the station.
• The signal automatically turns on when the mower starts its scheduled operation.
