2 Getting Started with X900U+

2.1 About the Receiver

X900U+ GPS+GLONASS+BDS+Galileo system is designed to enable every surveyor to
access to high precision, robust performances and reliable technology but without the
typical price constraints usually associated with GNSS investment. X900U+ GPS
matches a wide range of applications requiring static positioning.

Multiple frequency support with GPS, GLONASS and BDS enable X900U+ to break the
price barrier for cm accuracy positioning and provides a swift return on investment
compared to equivalent GNSS technology or traditional optical survey equipment.

X900U+ compact design of 179 mm × 84 mm (7.0 in × 3.3 in) with less than 1.4 kg (49
oz) makes it an easy-to-carry GNSS receiver for daily field work.

2.2 Parts of the Receiver

The operating controls are all located on the front panel. The battery compartment
and SIM card slot(function cancled) are on the backside. Serial ports and connectors

located on the

bottom of the unit.

2.2.1 Front Panel

The following figure shows a front view of the receiver.

The front panel contains four indicator LEDs, and two buttons.
