•
Check to see that the baud rates of the port used by the iSXBlue/SXBlue II GNSS matches that of the external
correction source
•
The external correction source should be using an 8 data bit, no parity, and 1 stop bit serial port configuration.
•
Inspect the cable connection to ensure there’s no sign of damage
•
Check the pin-out information for the cables to ensure that the transmit line of the external correction source
is connected to the receive line of the iSXBlue/SXBlue II GNSS’s serial port and that the signal grounds are
connected.

Installation
Q - Does it matter where I mount the iSXBlue/SXBlue II GNSS antenna?
A - Yes, the main consideration is that it must have an open hemisphere of sky for satellite tracking.
Additionally, the position that it computes is referenced to the center of the antenna. It should be placed
in the location for which you would like a position. Often, this is the centerline of a vehicle, on a pole-
mount for georeferencing or in the provided softhat.
Q - Can I use a vehicle’s power system to operate the iSXBlue/SXBlue II GNSS system?
A – Yes, a cigarette lighter plug is available from your dealer or Geneq. This adapter recharges the
integrated Li-Ion battery pack. It is important to use only the charger supplied by Geneq (see section 1.2.2
for more information on the battery pack).
