Starting the Instrument

To start the instrument please press the on/off button about 1 second (one single beep) on right side 
of the instrument. This will also start the Windows CE operating system.

This subchapter describes sequentially how different settings can be done in the field software in 
Face1 Control Unit as well as in the Face2 Control Unit.

The settings in the Face2 interface are accessible only without starting the field software. It is 
recommended especially if you want to work in Robotic mode.

When the Windows CE operating system starts, select your field software from the start menu. 
Please refer to your Spectra Precision Survey field application documentation for supplementary 
information.
