power led (green and red)
When you power on the G6, the power led will be on. According to the remaining
power of the battery, it includes two kinds of status:
1. Green: power supply in good condition.
2. Red: power is less than 10%(when the total power of two batteries is less
than 10%,the power led is red),and you will hear three beeps every 60s.

Chapter2 Basic operations of G6
In this section, we highlight the basic operations of G6. It includes the installation of
bas and rover, the operation of keys, switching working mode and datalink, self-test.
All of these basic operations are simple and easy. But they are very important.
2.1 The installation of base and rover
The installation of base
1. Install the tripod on the chosen position, level it and attach the receiver into
tribrach.
2. Attach the transmitting radio antenna into the port “UHF” if the data link is radio.
3. Switch on the receiver and select the base working mode. If it is not correct,
please see next paragraph 2.3 for understanding how to select the correct
working mode or you can change it later using the handheld software.
4. Switch on the handheld and start the software for the radio channel
configuration and inserting the base coordinates, otherwise it is possible to make
the settings by Web UI function.
The installation of rover
1. Fix the bracket on the pole, fix the handheld to the bracket, put the rover on the
pole and attach receiving antenna into the port “UHF”, depending on the
connection used.
2. Power on the receiver and select the rover working mode. If it is not correct,
please see next paragraph 2.3 for understanding how to select the correct working
mode or you can change it later using the handheld software.
3. Switch on the handheld and start the software, then you can do the advanced
setting of the instrument and finally start the survey.
Note: If you want to take very accurate measures (around or below cm accuracy), we
recommend you to use another tripod also for the rover.

2.2 The operation of keys
There is a power key in the receiver, the operations are as follows.
Power key
The main function of power key is power on/off and confirm button.
Power on: when the Receiver is in the OFF status (no light), press the power key
for 2 seconds and release it, and then the receiver will enter the initialization
status. Then you will listen beep for three times and the voice broadcast the
current receiver status, it means the receiver powered on successful.
Power off: when the G6 receiver is in the ON status (power supply light ON),
press and hold power key for 3 seconds until all lights blink, then release the
power key and there will be a voice broadcast “power off”. Press the power key
to confirm, then G6 will be turned off.
2.3 Self-checking
If the indicators are abnormal or the receiver can’t work normally, for example the
Bluetooth can’t be connected, the radio mode can’t work, it can’t connect to the
CORS. Then you can use the automatic detection function, which is Receiver
self-checking. Self-checking will check GPS, radio, GSM, Bluetooth, WIFI and sensor.
During this procession, it has voice guide tell you whether it’s normal or not.
1.
When the receiver is in powered on status, keep press the power key for 3
seconds until a voice broadcast “if you want to turn off the device”, then release
the power key. Keep press the power key again for 3 seconds until you hear a
beep, then there will be voice broadcast “self-check” and you could release the
power key (The new device should be self-checked once).
2. In the process of device self-checking, there will be voice broadcast the test
results. For example, if the wifi self-check is successful, voice broadcast “WIFI
self- check OK” and the led always on until the self-checking is completed. For
example, if the WIFI self-check fails, voice broadcast “wifi self-check error”, the
led will continue blink and the buzzer beeps until you restart G6. Self-checking
