• Insert a freshly charged battery into the ProFlex 500.
• Use a range pole fitted with a 5/8" male adaptor at the
upper end (not provided).
Caution! Use of a non-metal range pole is recommended
to maintain the performance level of the radio antenna.
• Mount the GNSS antenna at the top of the range pole.
• Connect coaxial cable P/N P076510A to the GNSS
antenna.
• If a radio link is used with the base, your rover should
normally have been fitted with the radio receiver kit that
matches the reception band covered by the radio
transmitter used at the base.
• If a GPRS connection is used, your rover should normally
have been fitted with the SIM card that will allow it to
perform a network connection.
To connect a SIM card, open the trapdoor and remove the
battery. The SIM card can be inserted in a dedicated
socket located at the bottom of the compartment. Insert
the SIM card as shown on the picture.
1. Unzip the larger compartment of the backpack.
2. Insert the different cables needed into the backpack. All
cables can pass through either of the velcro flaps [1]
located at the top of the backpack.
• GNSS antenna: Insert the TNC end of the 1.50 m
"Quick Release" cable (P/N P076500A) into the
backpack through one of the velcro flaps, then make it
run along the inner edge of the compartment, down to
where the rear panel of the receiver will be located
once placed in the backpack.
