Step 3: Collect Data
See the remaining sections in this chapter for more information about
collecting data.
1. Turn on the receiver. The STAT (status) light LED blinks red at
first.
• Once the receiver has locked on to one or more satellites, the
STAT LED will blink green for GPS satellites and orange for
GLONASS satellites. A short red blink indicates that the
receiver has not solved a position. Four or more satellites
provide optimal positioning.
• Once the short red blink is gone, the receiver has a position
and surveying can begin; 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 or after resetting the receiver,
it may take several minutes.
2. Press and hold the
FN
key (for more than one second and less
than five seconds) to begin collecting data.
3. Release the
FN
key when the REC (recording) LED turns green.
This indicates that a file has opened and data collection has
