This chapter describes the field setup of your new receiver, so it is ready for use as a Base, network, RTK Rover, or static data

Setting Up the Base Receiver

this tripod.
2. Attach the antenna to the modem antenna
connector.
3. Level the tripod and tighten the screws.
4. Attach any other accessories as needed, such as a
back‐up power supply.
5. Measure the height of the receiver from the
ground using the tape measure. See "Measuring
Antenna Height" on page 57.
6. View the LED display panel for the receiver's
current status. See also "Display Panel Operations"
on page 19.
