Your Leica iCON GPS 60 may not be picking up satellites and showing the error "GNSS Device1 USB down" due to the following reasons:

1. Obstructed View: Ensure the receiver is in an open area with a clear sky view to track satellites properly.
2. Incorrect Setup: Verify that the tripod, mount, and tribrach are properly leveled and centered over the marker.
3. Connection Issues: Check that the GEV269 cable is correctly connected from Port 1 to the computer’s USB port.
4. Power Issues: Confirm that the antenna is turned on and receiving power.
5. GNSS Device Not Detected: The error suggests that the USB connection to the GNSS device is down. Try reconnecting the USB cable or using a different port.
6. Hardware Malfunction: If the issue persists after checking connections and setup, the GNSS device may have a hardware failure.

Try these troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue.
