Quick Answer
You can change the PIN code on your robot lawnmower using the control panel. The method varies depending on your model, but most mowers allow you to create a new PIN by entering PIN setup mode. If you have forgotten your PIN, most models allow you to set a new one without restoring the factory default.
Before You Begin
Before changing your PIN code, ensure that:
- The mower is switched off.
- The battery has sufficient charge.
- You know your current PIN (if required by your model).
- You have your new PIN ready to enter.
Important: Once the PIN has been changed, the factory default PIN cannot be restored.
How to Reset the Pin Code
Standard Models
Follow these steps to change the PIN on compatible robot lawnmowers:
- Switch OFF the main power switch.
- Press and hold the Lock button.
- While holding the Lock button, switch the mower ON.
- Continue holding the Lock button for approximately 6 seconds until all LEDs on the control panel begin flashing rapidly.
- Release the Lock button.
- Within 6 seconds, enter your new PIN.
- The mower will confirm the new PIN with a single beep.
- The LEDs will switch off while the mower restarts.
- Once the Lock LED begins flashing again, the restart is complete and the new PIN is active.
You can now unlock the mower using your new PIN.
MB800 Models
To change the PIN on the MB800:
- Unlock the mower using the current PIN.
- Press and hold the Settings button until the mower beeps.
- Press the Down button once.
- When prompted, enter the current PIN.
- Enter your new PIN when prompted.
- The new PIN will be saved automatically.
PIN Entry on Models with Hour Buttons
Some models use the mowing time and signal buttons as a numeric keypad when entering a PIN.
Use the following button mapping:
| Button | Number |
|---|---|
| 4H | 0 |
| 6H | 1 |
| 8H | 2 |
| 10H | 3 |
| S1 | 4 |
| S2 | 5 |
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the default PIN?
Most compatible models use a default unlock sequence of pressing the Lock button four times, unless the PIN has been changed.
I've forgotten my PIN. Can I reset it?
Yes. Most models allow you to create a new PIN by following the standard PIN change procedure. The mower cannot be reset back to the original factory PIN.
Can I restore the factory default PIN?
No. Once a new PIN has been programmed, the factory default PIN cannot be restored.
Why won't my mower accept my new PIN?
Check that:
- You entered the new PIN within the required time after entering PIN setup mode.
- The control panel LEDs were flashing before entering the new PIN.
- The correct buttons were used on models that use the hour buttons as a numeric keypad.
Which models use the alternative PIN change method?
The MB800 uses a different procedure. Instead of entering programming mode, the PIN is changed through the Settings menu while the mower is unlocked.
What should I do if I still cannot change my PIN?
If the mower does not accept a new PIN after following the correct procedure, contact Customer Support for further assistance.
