Segway Navimow X3 Series – Complete Setup and Installation Guide
If you’ve just purchased a Segway Navimow X3 Series robot mower, congratulations — you’re now the owner of one of the most advanced residential and commercial robotic mowers available in 2025.
In this guide, Jason from Robot Lawn Mowers Australia walks you through the full setup and installation process, using the X315 model (rated for 1500m² lawns) as an example. The same steps apply to the larger X330, X350, and X390 models, covering areas up to 10,000m².
1. Getting Started with the App
Your first step is downloading the Segway Navimow app from the Apple or Google Play Store.
Create a new account or log in to an existing one if you’ve owned a previous Segway mower.
Once logged in, select “Add Device” and choose the X3 Series.
Power on your mower and follow the prompts to pair it via Wi-Fi.
Always use a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi connection, as most robot mowers don’t support 5GHz networks.
The app will automatically detect your time zone and allow you to set a secure PIN for access. You can also activate the 4G connectivity, which includes a free trial period before switching to a small annual subscription — essential if you want to track your mower remotely in case of theft.
2. Setting Up the Antenna and Charging Station
The Segway Navimow X3 Series relies on RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) positioning, so antenna placement is critical.
Jason recommends mounting the antenna:
At least 2 metres clear of any obstructions, ideally on your roof eave or a solid post.
In a position where it won’t get bumped or moved, as even slight movement can require re-mapping.
Next, position your charging station. While Segway recommends a 2-metre clearance from fences or walls, in practice it can sit closer — just ensure it has clear overhead visibility.
Connect the power supply (Segway includes a handy 10m extension cable) and confirm the green light on the back of the dock is solid before placing the mower on it to charge.
3. Mapping Your Lawn
With your mower charged and connected, it’s time to create your first map.
You can choose between AI-assisted mapping or manual control:
AI mapping uses the mower’s onboard cameras and sensors to automatically detect boundaries.
Manual mapping lets you drive the mower around the perimeter for precise control — Jason’s preferred method for professional accuracy.
During mapping:
Stay within 6 metres of the mower for a stable connection.
Map during good daylight conditions, not at dusk or night.
Use the app to add multiple lawn areas, channels between zones, and no-go zones around trees or garden beds.
Once completed, the mower automatically saves your map and returns to its charging station.
4. Fine-Tuning Your Settings
After mapping, you can set up mowing heights, directions, and names for each zone.
For example:
Front lawn: 35mm cut height
Nature strip: 35mm
Side strip: 40mm with limited mowing angles to avoid slope issues
You can also enable edge mowing, which ensures each area is neatly trimmed to the boundary, and customize mowing sequences — perfect if you want one area mowed more frequently than others.
5. Scheduling and Smart Features
The Segway Navimow X3 allows full weekly scheduling. Simply select which zones to mow and when, adjusting for duration and frequency.
Work modes include:
Quiet Mode – reduces motor speed for lower noise (around 3dB quieter)
Standard Mode – balanced speed and precision
Efficient Mode – faster mowing for large open areas
Additional smart features include:
Night Mowing with onboard headlights
Weather Adaptive Mowing, pausing during heavy rain or extreme heat
Animal-Friendly Mode, where the mower automatically avoids small wildlife
Traction Control, improving grip and stability on slopes
6. Vision Fence and Advanced Mapping Tools
The Vision Fence feature allows you to disable obstacle detection in specific zones — useful near pavers or concrete edges where the camera might misinterpret surfaces.
Jason demonstrates setting these zones to ensure clean edge cuts and consistent mowing performance.
7. Security and Updates
Segway’s anti-theft system includes:
Geofencing, which triggers an alarm if the mower leaves its mapped area.
Find My Mower, letting you locate your unit instantly.
Device Sharing, allowing remote diagnostic access by your dealer or technician.
Software updates install automatically through the app, ensuring your mower always runs the latest firmware.
