Make sure your software is registered. Go to Register
Modules from the Job menu to make sure that the Basic
GPS module is registered.

If you are doing GPS work on a job with existing
coordinates, make sure the control coordinate locations
are in a file on the data collector.

If you are using a geoid model make sure your geoid sub
grid file (*.ggf) is in the geodata directory of the hand
held.

Survey Office to create and transfer geoid and datum grid
files.
