Powering RANGER and Verifying Your GPS Signal
The RANGER power switch is on right side of the console (circled at right).
• Flip the switch to ON to power up RANGER
• Flip the switch to OFF to power down RANGER
Upon power up and with your antenna having a clear view of the sky,
RANGER automatically begins acquiring a GPS signal (see indicators at
right). When RANGER has acquired a GPS signal the yellow (GPS) LED
illuminates. When RANGER acquires a more accurate
differentially-corrected (DGPS) signal, the green LED illuminates. This
startup process may take several minutes.
The green DGPS LED must be illuminated for RANGER to provide
guidance.
With startup complete, the RANGER display appears similar to that at right
with the following information:
• Vertical bars in upper right indicate GPS signal strength, where more
black bars means greater signal strength
• ‘Ready’ status - RANGER is ready to provide guidance
• Number of satellites being tracked (‘5 Sats’ at right)
• Memory (storage space) available to log (store) field data
