Getting Started

Turning the Receiver On and Off

To turn on the receiver, press and hold the power button until the LEDs briey
ash. The receiver is turning on when: the Power LED blinks green, the receiver
channels initialize and start tracking all visible satellites at any time and location,
and the serial port is available. When the startup is complete, the Power LED is
solid green only when external power is used; otherwise the Power LED is off.
After startup, the integrated wireless devices in the receiver are ready to use,
and the receiver is available to obtain the correction data from reference station
and to measure ground point coordinates with high accuracy. Also the receiver
is ready to start data recording to the internal memory.
To turn-off the receiver, press and hold the power button for more than 3 but
less than 10 seconds. Release the power button when the Power LED blinks
yellow. This delay prevents the receiver from being turned off by mistake.
Allow the receiver to complete the power off cycle, which is approximately 15
seconds.

Powering the Receiver

The receiver is powered by an internal battery or an external valid power source
connected to the power port. If an external power source is connected, the
receiver draws power from it instead of the battery. You can connect the receiver
to an external power source, such as a vehicle battery, with 9 – 27 VDC to
operate the receiver.

A power input greater than 27 VDC could damage the
receiver.

Charging the internal battery

1. Connect the supplied power cable to the receiver’s power port.

2. Connect the SAE connector of the power cable to the SAE connector of the
power adapter.

3. Plug the power adapter into an available outlet for approximately ve hours to
fully charge the battery.
