2. Is the receiver tracking satellites?
The BLUE LED flashes once for each SV (satellite vehicle) that
is currently tracked.
If you are indoors, the LED will flash once every 5-seconds.
However no SV’s will be tracked.
The receiver should begin tracking within 30-seconds after a
warm start. After a cold start (off for more than 1 week) it may
take 90-seconds for the receiver to begin tracking.
3. Is the receiver storing observation data?
The right-hand YELLOW LED will flash once every time data is
stored to the current occupation file. The default recording
rate is 5-seconds, thus the YELLOW LED will flash once every
5-seconds when data is being stored.
It is possible to stop the recording of data and close the
observation file by pressing and holding the BLUE Record
button. You can verify the mode by quickly pressing the record
button:
If the GREEN radio LED flashes, then the receiver is
RECORDING.
If the YELLOW files LED flashes, then the receiver is NOT
RECORDING.
4. The RED Power LED is flashing!
If the RED Power LED is flashing, then the internal battery is
very low. Connect external power or turn receiver off and
replace the battery.
5. The GPS receiver won’t mount as a Disk Drive.
A. Before plugging GPS cable into your PC try turning on the
GPS and waiting for 20 seconds?
B. Unplug, wait 15-seconds, try again
C. Try another USB port.
D. Use an external USB Hub (this fixes intermittent disk
mounts, but we don’t know why.)
E. Try other computers.
F. Try turning off your PC, wait a minute and then turn on
again. Reinsert the USB cable.
G. Get the DevView tool from
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html and use it
to uninstall the errant device driver for the GPS receiver.
Download the
USBDeview
tool, there is a 32-bit and a 64-bit
version, choose the correct version for your computer.
