• Reset
Press F2 and F3 at the same time when powered on and release after hearing a beep. After around 8
seconds, the Mushroom Head automatically restarts and the factory default settings are restored.
• Activating BOOT Mode
1: When the module is OFF, press and hold F3 to power on*.
2: If the buzzer beeps for three times, then the red light
ashes slowly for 30 seconds (WLAN initialization) before
flashing quickly, and the remaining indicators are off
(see figure on right), it means BOOT mode is activated.
Otherwise, BOOT mode is not activated.
Flashes slowly
for 30 second
and then ashes
quickly.

• Activating WLAN Pairing Mode
Turn on the module, when the red right (corresponding to
F1) is on, press and hold F2 for at least 3 seconds and release
after hearing a beep. If the red and blue lights are off and
yellow light flashes twice, it means the Mushroom Head
has started pairing. Upon successful pairing, the module
will automatically exit the pairing mode and start normal
operation.
Flashes
twice

* Turn on: refers to the smart battery, see page 10 for details.
• Setting up Portable Base
1. Location Selection
Select solid and at ground with open space above. There should be no obstacles over the elevation angle of
15° for continuous tracking and observation of the satellite and high quality satellite signals.
2. Mounting
Erect the Tripod and align as per the operation standard for the RTK base. Connect the Mushroom Head to
the Tripod’s connecting rod, turn on the power, and secure the connecting rod.
①
Fix Tripod: Mount the Tripod to the Triangle Stand and secure. Note: When there is no datum mark, make
sure the Tripod is in rm contact with the ground. The height of the Tripod can be changed as needed,
preferably 1.5m or higher.
②
Erect the Tripod and keep the level bubble centered.
③
Connect the extension rod corresponding to the Mushroom Head and turn on the power.
④
Fix the Mushroom Head on the Tripod to complete the setup of the hardware equipment of the Portable Base.
3. System Settings
After the base is paired, click “Base Settings”, set the RTK device as a portable base, and select the way to
obtain coordinates. Ways to obtain coordinates include low-precision capturing, high-precision capturing, and
manual input.
(1) Low-precision Capturing
Click Low-precision Capturing, and the device starts capturing coordinates automatically. After the signal
becomes stable, the Mushroom Head will be automatically set as a portable base. There may be a margin of
error between the coordinates captured with low precision and the actual coordinates.
(2) High-precision Capturing
High-precision Capturing performs dierential positioning with the RTCM signals from a xed base that has
been set up to obtain accurate coordinates. How to operate:
Click High-precision Capturing (base assistance), and the base searches for fixed bases within 70 km via
network signals. Select a desirable xed base as your supporting base and click OK. When the parameter
“Positioning” on home page displays FIX, the base is set up.
(3) Manual Input
This mode is suitable for the setup of a second base. To set up a second base at the xed point that has been
surveyed before, input the coordinates captured during the rst setup into the device, and the device will
automatically generate and broadcast RTCM data. How to operate:
Click Manual Input and enter the exact coordinates into the pop-up window;
Click OK and when the parameter “Positioning” on home page displays FIX, the base is set up.
