Turn off the unit and let it cool before handling. Always use the heat- resistant handle to hold or move the ADL Vantage Pro and ADL Vantage 35 radios.
- Page 5 In the United States, the FCC regulates the licensing of this equipment. The ADL Vantage, ADL Vantage Pro and ADL Vantage 35 use extended frequencies and may contain functions that are not operational in the United States and its territories.
- Page 6 Be mindful of the persistent nature of a GPS RTK data transmission and always limit your RF transmission output power when performing close-in survey situations to avoid interference with co-channel users. Pacific Crest recommends using the low RF power setting for construction site and other line-of-site surveys with baselines less than two miles (depending on terrain).
- Page 7 GPS RTK equipment is designed to function with intermittent gaps in the data. Heavy co-channel use may limit the ability of the radio to transmit the required information. In areas of heavy co-channel usage, try changing channels to a less used frequency. ADL Vantage/ADL Vantage Pro/ADL Vantage 35...

Insert the clip into a slot on the tripod:... - Page 15 A good field practice is to attach the antenna before you turn on the radio and then turn off the radio before you detach the antenna. Using a gained antenna raises the Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) of the radio. Ensure that the resultant EIRP does not exceed your licensed limit.

SAE Power Connector Each radio data/power cable also connects the radio (and in some cases, the data source) to external power through an SAE-type connector. Pacific Crest strongly recommends you use the external battery, which includes an SAE connector. It is sold both separately and as part of the battery/charger kits. -

Hide option. Auto Rover Mode (Automatic Channel Selection) The ADL Vantage radio (but not the ADL Vantage Pro/35) can automatically select the channel with the strongest signal containing decipherable data, i.e., data configured with the same protocol, modulation and link rate. This allows you to transmit data on one radio and then lock onto that transmission without having to remember the channel number or frequency. -
