500S™ SATELLITE GS AUTHORIZATION CODES
REQUIRED 500S™ FIRMWARE
The 500S™ GNSS receiver must have firmware version 5.9Aa06 or higher in order to use Satellite GS or GS-Lite. This
firmware version is included with CRx software 2.2 and above. Note that the CRx software update does not automatically
install the 500S™ firmware. Refer to
How to Update Hardware with CRx Devices
for instructions on this process.
GS VS. GS-LITE
Both Satellite GS and GS-Lite will require you to enter a 10-digit code into the 500S™ receiver. However, Satellite GS is a
subscription only and GS-Lite is a one-time unlock.
THE PROCESS
GATHER THE SERIAL NUMBER FOR THE 500S™
When ordering GS corrections for the 500S™, the receiver serial number is the only required piece of information. The
serial number for the 500S™ is located on the sticker on the bottom of the receiver. There will be 2 Raven product
stickers on the receiver: one is for the Raven serial number and the other is for the hardware serial number. You will need
the ESN (Electronic Serial Number) on the hardware serial number sticker.
You may also find the 500S™ serial number using the screens for the CR7™ field computer and the SC1™ steering system.
