Leica mojoMINI 2, System Start Up and Settings System Start Up and Settings This chapter details how to start the mojoMINI 2 system and explains the main navi- gation screen - the screen that the operator will view the majority of the time. How to configure the lightbar, and the screen background and brightness is also discussed, along with how to use the calculator feature.
This provides power to the mojoMINI 2 and the GeoSpective 2 smart antenna. 2. On the mojoMINI 2, turn the On-Off (Power) switch to the On position. The mojoMINI 2 starts up, and the screen displays a Field button in a grey band in the middle of the screen (as shown below).
Leica mojoMINI 2, System Start Up and Settings Changing the Brightness Brightness To change the brightness of the screen, carry out the following procedure: 1. On the opening screen, tap the tools icon at the bottom left of the screen.
The lightbar is located at the top of the screen. The operator can configure the lightbar to be either a Smart lightbar or a Crosstrack only lightbar. Refer to Section "3.4 Lightbar Configuration" for information on setting up the lightbar. Leica mojoMINI 2, System Start Up and Settings...

If the operator does not touch the screen for 20 seconds, the menu buttons on the mization left and right of the screen disappear to give the operator a greater display area. To get the menu buttons to reappear, tap the screen anywhere under the lightbar. Leica mojoMINI 2, System Start Up and Settings...
Leica mojoMINI 2, System Start Up and Settings Lightbar Configuration Overview The lightbar has two modes that the operator can select from: Smart lightbar and Crosstrack lightbar. Smart lightbar uses both crosstrack error and heading error to guide you to the line.
Page 31
1. Tap the lightbar at the top of the screen. The Lightbar setup screen appears. 2. Select the desired lightbar mode by tapping the Lightbar Mode button until the button matching the mode appears. Smart Lightbar Crosstrack Chase Crosstrack Pull Leica mojoMINI 2, System Start Up and Settings...

Recording Coverage Overview The mojoMINI 2 can record and display the covered area (max. 300 ha / 740 ac). Recording coverage is useful for showing where you have already been and how much ground you have covered. When used with the field boundary feature coverage recording can be used to calculate how much ground is still to be covered.

Leica mojoMINI 2, Field Navigation Field Boundaries Overview By recording a field boundary the operator is able to determine accurately, how much product is required for the field. This significantly reduces waste and problems related to the disposal of excess product.
Page 53
The boundary can be closed automatically if you drive across the very start of the boundary. • You can set a guidance pattern as well as start and stop coverage recording while you are recording a boundary. Leica mojoMINI 2, Field Navigation...
If you stop work before completing a field you may want to come back and continue that field. This situation can also apply if you turned the mojoMINI 2 off before completing the field. The continue last field option allows the operator to pick up exactly where they left off.
Page 55
3. You will then be taken to the main navigation screen where you can continue work. When continuing the last field it is possible that the wayline will not be in the same place. This can be fixed using nudge (refer to "4.11 Nudging"). Leica mojoMINI 2, Field Navigation...
