Firmware update
Always keep your robot lawn mower up to date
As a general rule, do not confuse the mower firmware update with updates to the Einhell Connect App. If the app receives an update, this does not have to be transferred to the mower (currently it is also not possible to update the mower via the app). If an update of the mower becomes necessary, you can download it from the section below (the BIN file does not need to be unzipped).

- Optimised mowing and loading behaviour
Requirements for the USB stick for the firmware update:
- The USB stick shouldn´t be larger than 64 GB.
- The USB stick shouldn´t contain any hidden files, folders or partitions.
- The USB stick must be formatted in FAT32.
Positioning the mower
Before you start installing the firmware update, position the robotic lawnmower in the mowing area. The robotic lawnmower must not be in the charging station during the software update.
How to update the firmware
- Download the file(s) to an empty USB stick. For some models, a ZIP folder containing several files is downloaded. In this case, first extract the ZIP folder before you drag the files onto the empty USB stick. You do this by right-clicking on the ZIP folder, selecting Extract and then following the instructions on the screen. There must not be a folder on the USB stick itself.
- Before you start installing the firmware update, place the robotic lawnmower in the mowing area. The robotic lawnmower must not be in the charging station during the software update.
- Activate the main switch on the mower and start the boot mode by pressing the "Power" and "OK" buttons simultaneously for 4 seconds. In boot mode all LEDs light up.
- Then start the update process by pressing the lock key. The LEDs indicate the progress of the update, which may take several minutes. Do not switch off the robot lawn mower during the process. A successful update is confirmed by an acoustic signal.
- After restarting the mower via the main switch, it can resume its work. Do not forget to remove the USB stick again

Clearing the STOP status:
To cancel the STOP status on your robotic lawnmower, please proceed as follows:
By pressing the STOP button (3), the robotic lawnmower is in STOP status, which is shown on the LCD display (50). The robotic lawnmower pauses its mowing operation until it is canceled again. After unlocking the control panel (2), a window appears which suggests canceling the STOP status. The status is canceled upon confirmation. Otherwise the robotic lawnmower will remain stopped. If the robotic lawnmower is started or sent back to the charging station (19), the STOP status is also canceled. Close the display cover (22).

Frequently asked questions
How do I find out about software updates?
- The manufacture will inform you of these via email/their website.
- The app will inform you about new updates. If no update is available in the App, this means that your mower is up to date.
Where do I find the article- and identification number?
On your product you will usually find the type plate near the motor / drive unit. There you can find the 7-digit article number and the 5-digit identification number. The item number is also shown on the manuals.
Can the mower be reset to factory settings?
The mower itself cannot be reset to factory settings, but this is usually not necessary. Software updates can be found on the website, but do not have to be downloaded. In the app you can delete your mower and your personal data and reset the statistics.
How can I format the USB stick FAT32?
Instructions for Windows users:
The USB stick should be max. 8 GB and formatted with FAT32.
To format a USB stick in Windows 10, the following steps are necessary:
- Insert the USB stick.
- Open the „This PC“ overview in Windows Explorer.
- Your USB stick should now be displayed there. Click on the entry with the right mouse button.
- Select „Format“.
- You can then select the desired file system FAT32 and change the name of the USB stick.
- Then click on „Start“.
The stick must not contain hidden files or another partition.
Delete hidden folders and files:
In the file explorer, select View - Options - View - Show hidden files, directories and drives. Then delete all folders and files in the Explorer. The System Volume Information folder is important and must be removed. Only the update file should still be on the stick.
