Congratulations on your decision to purchase a Spectra Precision MobileMapper 300. MobileMapper 300 is a GPS/GLONASS/SBAS L1/L2 receiver specifically designed to be used in accurate GIS collection. MobileMapper 300 is very simple to use: • Easy battery handling: MobileMapper 300 uses built-in, rechargeable, non-removable batteries. • Cable-free: The mobile device (1) and MobileMapper 300 communicate over a Bluetooth connection.
MobileMapper 300 Packout English Standard Accessories The MobileMapper 300 packout consists of the following items: [1] [2] [3] [5] [4] • [1]: MobileMapper 300 GNSS receiver • [2]: Universal AC/DC adapter shipped with four different types of input connectors. • [3]: Power cable extension (male jack to 6-pin connector) • [4]: Vehicle power cable (cigarette lighter connector type to female jack) • [5]: Soft transport bag.
Discover Your New Equipment Take a few seconds to discover your MobileMapper 300.

SPace is the Spectra Precision software dedicated to interfacing MobileMapper 300 with your mobile device. This application is mainly used to: • Connect your mobile device to the MobileMapper 300 via Bluetooth. • Connect your mobile device to a corrections provider via the built-in modem or Wi-Fi, or allow SBAS tracking (for SBAS corrections). • Monitor GNSS and corrections reception. • Check position accuracy.
English • Tap on Developer options and then check on Allow mock locations. From now on, MobileMapper 300 will be the position provider for your application. Setting MobileMapper 300 to Receive Corrections • Make sure MobileMapper 300 is on and the blue LED is blinking. • Run SPace on your mobile device. • Read and accept the EULA agreement. (This is requested only the first time you run SPace.

In the lower part of the screen, you can read the number of currently tracked satellites and the number of satellites currently used.
Receiver Battery Status English : Visual indication (see [5]) of MobileMapper 300 battery status (may be different from your mobile device’s). White color turns into yellow when the MobileMapper 300 battery gets low. If you touch this icon, you will get additional information about the receiver power supply: • Type: Type of power supply used by the receiver: Internal (internal battery) or External (external power supply).
: Touch this icon (see [7]) to read or change SPace’s current settings: • Autostart application at boot: Can be set to ON or OFF. To change this setting, simply touch the line or push the button at the end of the line to the right (ON) or to the left (OFF). Setting this feature to ON means SPace will be started automatically next time you power on your mobile device.
Battery Charging Modes English The built-in batteries may be charged using one of two charging modes: • Standard charging: This is the default mode used when you connect a power source to the MobileMapper 300. The batteries will be fully charged after about 8 hours of charging. This is the recommended charging mode to preserve the capacity of the batteries over time. Typically, you will charge the batteries at the end of your work day so that you will have a fully charged system the next morning.

Environmental: • Storage temperature range: -40 to +70°C (-40 to +158°F) • Operating temperature range: -30 to +65°C (-22 to +149°F (1) • IP67 waterproof (according to IEC529 standard) • Vibrations and shocks: ETS300-019 • Withstands 2-meter fall on concrete.
Product Storage English Power/Data Connector Pinout Spectra Precision recommends you observe the following rules for long-term storage (2-3 months). These rules are dictated by the presence of two non-removable Li-Ion batteries inside the MobileMapper 300. • Always charge batteries before long-term storage • Storage room should be ideally at 5°C (41°F) ambient temperature to minimize irreversible capacity loss. • Always charge batteries after long-term storage.
Auto-test is performed during the receiver start-up sequence to check internal communication ports, including Bluetooth. Should a problem be detected during the auto-test, the Power/Charging LED will turn solid red -instead of the normal solid green- at the end of the start-up sequence. In that case, you should reset the receiver as explained in this manual (see above). If the error still persists after a reset, please contact Technical Support.
English • • • • • • 18 NOTE: If you are using the second setup, you will need to use the V-cable from the cable kit P/N 91865-00 which connects to your computer’s DB9 serial connector. In this case, you will not need to use the DB9-to-USB extension cable. Turn on MobileMapper 300 and wait until the Power/ Charging LED turns solid green (meaning MobileMapper 300 is ready). Launch Spectra Precision loader on the computer. Browse to the *.bin file provided by Spectra Precision.
Mobile Mapper 300 can operate in four different accuracy modes: • 30/30 • 7/2 • Full RTK • RTX The first one (30/30) is available as standard and so is used by default. Being able to use one of the other three modes requires that you first purchase the corresponding firmware option and you activate this option in the receiver. This is how you can do this: • Place an order for the desired option to Spectra Precision’s Order Administration (or possibly to the Sales Manager).
English – Get the name of the COM port that will be used on computer side. – Pair the two devices through Bluetooth. • Start WinFlash on the computer. • Make the following choices: – Device Type= MobileMapper 300 / ProMark 700 Receiver – PC serial port= And then click Next >: • Select Update receiver options and then click Next >. • Select Legacy password, copy the option code received by email (see above), paste it into the Option Password text box, and then click Next >, then Finish.
• [1]: Power/Fast charging pushbutton. Hold this button depressed for about 2 seconds to power on the MobileMapper 300. Hold it depressed for another 2 seconds to turn it off.
