LUBA 2: error 1300/1303 ("poor positioning status"), with at least two different causes

Mammotion's manual documents 1300 as "positioning status is poor," but three independent owners hit it for different reasons: a signal-blocking shelter roof, a firmware fix, and one still-unexplained daily recurrence in the open.

From owners' reports in German, not from Mammotion's own pages.

What to do next

  1. Check whether the mower or its dock sits under anything solid overhead. That means a real terrace roof, not a garden umbrella. Try a more RF-transparent shelter or open sky.

    More about this step

    Applies when: 1300 appears while the mower is parked or docked, or at the start of a job.

    Worked if: the mower parks where it can see sky, and the error stops.

    Didn't work? Next: step 2 — Check for a pending firmware update and install it. One owner's...

    Method: an experienced owner in the thread cited here (1303 is undocumented in the manuals)

  2. Check for a pending firmware update and install it. One owner's identical 1300 stopped appearing after updating to 1.11.511.381, with the parking spot unchanged.

    More about this step

    Applies when: nothing solid is overhead, or the shelter is thin wood that blocks less than concrete.

    Worked if: the error stops without moving anything.

    Didn't work? Next: step 3 — If neither helped, tell us your setup and your version. A third...

    Method: a LUBA 2 AWD 1000 owner on the same thread

  3. If neither helped, tell us your setup and your version. A third owner saw 1300 and 1303 every day, fully in the open, 5 metres (16 feet) from the antenna, and no resolution was ever recorded.

    More about this step

    Applies when: the error keeps recurring with nothing overhead.

    Worked if: the unexplained case gets the detail it is missing, instead of staying a dead end.

What this page is: error 1300 is an officially-documented code (see the fault-codes reference; Mammotion's manual just says "positioning status is poor, wait for the robot to reposition itself"), but that generic text doesn't explain why it keeps recurring for some owners. Three independent LUBA 2 owners in the same thread hit it for what look like at least two different reasons: one explained by an experienced owner in the thread, one apparently fixed by a firmware update, one still unexplained. Find the case closest to your own setup below.

The codes

1300 ("Schlechter Positionierungsstatus" / poor positioning status) is documented in Mammotion's manual. 1303 ("Roboter setzt das integrierte RTK-Modul zurück und versucht die normale Positionierung wiederherzustellen" / the robot resets its integrated RTK module and attempts to restore normal positioning) is not documented anywhere in Mammotion's manuals; two of the three owners below saw 1300 and 1303 together1.

Confirmed cases

Parked under a solid roof: the signal is blocked

A LUBA 2 parked roughly a meter under a covered terrace to keep it dry hit this error. An experienced owner in the thread explained it directly: under the terrace the mower gets no reception at all, because the satellite signals cannot pass through the roof, so it is no wonder it goes on strike. A garage of plastic, or with a plastic roof, or of wood with roofing felt does let the signal through1. If your mower is sheltered under something opaque (concrete, dense tile, metal), that's the first thing to change.

Resolved after a firmware update, despite similar sheltered parking

A LUBA 2 AWD 1000 parked partly under a thin wood overhang initially hit the same 1300 error, its owner suspecting the same shelter-blocking cause. After updating to firmware 1.11.511.381, the error stopped appearing entirely, despite the mower's parking location not changing1. This doesn't rule out a partial signal-visibility factor (a thin wood roof blocks less than solid terrace concrete), but the timing is specific enough to note: if you're on an older build than 1.11.511.381, updating is worth trying before assuming your shelter is the problem.

Unresolved: daily recurrence with no shelter at all

The identical 1300 (and 1303) codes appeared every day at the start of mowing on a third mower parked fully in the open: 5 meters (16 feet) from the RTK antenna, original LUBA roof, antenna fixed in place. No shelter-blocking explanation applies here, and the thread doesn't record a resolution for this case1.

No single cause explains every report above. This is a starting index, not a diagnosis. If you're hitting 1300/1303, first check whether your mower or its charging dock sits under anything solid overhead (a real terrace roof, not a garden umbrella) and try a more RF-transparent shelter or the open sky. If that's not it, check for a pending firmware update. If neither helps, treat it the same as the third case above and let us know what you find, especially if you can confirm a fix.
