3. Press the power key and release it to turn the receiver on. The

STAT (status) light (LED) will blink red at first.

4. Once the receiver has locked on to one or more satellites, the

STAT light will blink green for GPS satellites, orange for

GLONASS satellites, and a short red blink indicating it has not

solved a position. Four or more satellites provide optimal

positioning.

5. Once the short red blink is gone, the receiver has a position and

surveying can begin. You should wait for green and orange lights

before beginning data collection. This ensures that the receiver

has the correct date and time, and is locked on to enough satellites

to ensure good quality data.

The process of locking on to satellites normally takes less than

one minute. In a new area, under heavy tree canopy, or after

resetting the receiver, it may take several minutes.

Step 3: Collect Data

1. To begin collecting data, press and hold the FN (function) key for

more than one second and less than five seconds.

2. Release the FN key when the REC (recording) LED light turns

green. This indicates that a file has opened and data collection has

started. The REC LED blinks each time data is saved to the

internal memory.

TIP

Use PC-CDU to configure data logging. See “MINTER

Configuration” on page 2-18 or refer to the PC-CDU User’s

Manual.

3. When finished, press and hold the FN key until the REC LED

light goes out.

4. To turn off the receiver, press and hold the power key until all

lights go out, then release.
