500S™ SATELLITE GS AUTHORIZATION CODES
REQUIRED 500S™ FIRMWARE
The 500S™ GNSS receiver must have firmware version 5.9Aa06 or higher in order to use Satellite GS or GS-Lite. This
firmware version is included with CRx software 2.2 and above. Note that the CRx software update does not automatically
install the 500S™ firmware. Refer to
How to Update Hardware with CRx Devices
for instructions on this process.
GS VS. GS-LITE
Both Satellite GS and GS-Lite will require you to enter a 10-digit code into the 500S™ receiver. However, Satellite GS is a
subscription only and GS-Lite is a one-time unlock.
THE PROCESS
GATHER THE SERIAL NUMBER FOR THE 500S™
When ordering GS corrections for the 500S™, the receiver serial number is the only required piece of information. The
serial number for the 500S™ is located on the sticker on the bottom of the receiver. There will be 2 Raven product
stickers on the receiver: one is for the Raven serial number and the other is for the hardware serial number. You will need
the ESN (Electronic Serial Number) on the hardware serial number sticker.
