Step

Description

1.

Loosen the screws of the compartment cover with the supplied Allen key.

2.

Remove the compartment cover.

3.

Attach the slot-in-device to the compartment cover.

4.

Insert the compartment cover into the compartment (port P3).

5.

Tighten the screws.

All screws have to be tightened to ensure that the instrument is 
waterproof.

6.

Attach the antenna for the slot-in device to RTK device antenna port. Refer 
to "Port PPS".

For the equipment setup as real-time base station with radio, it's recom-
mended to use an external radio antenna mounted on a second tripod. This 
increases the height of the radio antenna and therefore maximises radio 
coverage. Refer to the Leica Viva GNSS Getting Started Guide for detailed 
information about the setup.
