6. Close the battery bay door.
Hardware Setup
This section applies to both receivers.
Perform the following steps before turning on the receiver:
1. Connect the antenna cable from the GPS antenna to the antenna connector
on the rear of the receiver.
2. If using a Z-Surveyor, be sure that a memory card has been correctly
inserted.
3. Ensure that a fully charged battery (internal or external) is connected to the
receiver. If operating with an external battery, connect the battery to the
PWR connector on the rear panel of the receiver.
The receiver is internally protected in case the battery connections are unintentionally reversed.
Applying Power
After your equipment has been properly cabled and a memory card correctly inserted,
press the On/Off button to apply power.
Receiver Initialization
It is good practice to reset the receiver prior to operating it for the first time or when a
system malfunction occurs. A reset of the internal memory clears the memory and
restores the factory defaults. This reset does not affect data stored on the PCMCIA
card.
