2. Record the antenna height, point name, and start time in the field notes.
3. Press the power key and release it to turn the receiver on. The STAT
4. status) light (LED) will blink red at first.
5. Once the receiver has locked on to one or more satellites, the STAT
light will blink green for GPS satellites, orange for GLONASS
satellites, and a short red blink indicating it has not solved a position.
Four or more satellites provide optimal positioning.
6. Once the short red blink is gone, the receiver has a position and
measuring can begin. You should wait for green and orange lights
before beginning data collection. This ensures that the receiver has the
correct date and time, and is locked on to enough satellites to ensure
good quality data.
The process of locking on to satellites normally takes less than one
minute. In a new area, under heavy tree canopy, or after resetting the
receiver, it may take several minutes.

REC LED blinks each time data is saved to the internal memory.
Tip: You can use PCView to configure data logging. See
“MinPad Configuration” on page 2-19 or refer to the
PCView Software Manual for more information.
