Make sure all these are closed tight when out in the field it is what helps keep the unit water
proof and rugged.
Powering the archer on and off:
To turn the device on click the power button, a green light should turn on and the archer will take
a few minutes to boot up. To power down the archer hold the power button until a shut down
screen appears on the archer.(usually takes about 3 seconds) Then click on the shut down button
and click yes when it asks you, as long as you have saved your data.
Sleep mode:
It is not necessary to completely shut down the archer when driving from site to site. When
moving from one site to another you can click the power button and the unit should enter sleep
mode. To return from sleep mode click the power button again, and give it a few seconds to load
up the main screen. Be sure to power down the unit at the end of the day because sleep mode still
uses power and if left in sleep mode through the night it may not have any battery charge left.
Also if the unit is inactive for a period of time (3-5minutes) it will enter sleep mode.
Hard shut down:
If the unit freezes and you can not shut down the way stated above then, hold the power key
down for about 10 to 15 seconds and the unit will turn off. Wait about 30 seconds before turning
the unit back on.
