WiFi options and settings
The WiFi optional extra enables the user to connect the antenna to the GX controller without the
use of the data cable i.e. wireless. This may be desirable when the antenna is used remotely from
the GX controller. If you are using the GX system in one of the cart options, we recommend that
you use the wired option as this will give a more stable connection between the antenna and the
GX Controller and longer battery life.

Note: Using the WiFi option will increase battery consumption and therefore reduce
the life of the batteries. In addition, the operational speed of the system will be reduced.
WiFi Connection
Remove the data cable between the antenna and GX Controller. Power up the system as
normal and check the blue WiFi button has the blue LED illuminated. If the blue LED is not
lit, press and release the blue button. The system will take approximately 60 seconds to
establish communications between the antenna and the GX Controller. Once
communications are established, the WiFi and Communications icons will show next to the
battery icon as follows.

If the Wi-Fi icon is not showing, go to the System Menu (as described on page 46), then
continue to screen 2 via the “Next Screen” icon and select the Wi-Fi Settings icon.
