POWER UP

1. Turn Unit On, After Starting Engine:

Toggle the

power switch located on the right end of the display.
The RED status light will illuminate.

2. Acquire a DGPS Signal:

The unit automatically

begins acquiring a DGPS signal.  This process may take
a few minutes.  During this process, the vehicle can be
moving or the operator can perform menu functions.
Upon achieving a GPS signal, the YELLOW status light
will illuminate.  Finally, once the DGPS correction signal
is acquired, a GREEN status light will illuminate.  The
GREEN DGPS light must be present for the Outback S

TM

to provide guidance.

NOTE: 

The antenna must have a clear view of the sky

to acquire a DGPS signal.

CORRECTION TYPES

The differential correction type used by the Outback S

TM

is selected from the two options loaded into the receiver.
WAAS and e-Dif

TM

are the factory installed options with

other types available as field installed options.  The cor-
rection type can be changed from the 

CORRECTION

TYPE

item in the setup menu (see page 5).  Choose

WAAS, e-Dif

TM

, EGNOS, OmniStar, or other field

installed correction option(s).

WAAS is free and is available anywhere in North
America. e-Dif

TM

, as factory installed, is pre-activated

with a secondary one-time subscription code which can
be used only in North America.  A one-time primary sub-
scription to e-Dif

TM

may be purchased for use anywhere

in the world.

EGNOS, like WAAS, is also free and is available in
Europe.  OmniStar correction service is available
throughout the world, however, an annual subscription
must be purchased.  Field installation of OmniStar cor-
rection must replace one of the existing correction types
and may be performed either from a PC or from an
Outback 360

TM

.

NOTE:

The use of e-Dif™ on OUTBACK Guidance®

equipment as a GPS differential correction is intended
only for relative guidance applications and is not recom-
mended for data recording and subsequent comparative
analysis.  Relative positional accuracy will typically drift at
a rate of 1-2 meters (3-6.5 feet) per hour; however,
absolute positional accuracy errors may approach ±10
meters (±33 feet).
