Check u-blox 5 Hardware Requirements:
Check the battery power to supply the battery backup pin, since u-blox5 draws higher current in
comparison to ANTARIS 4 receivers.
Compare the u-blox 5 module peak current consumption (150 mA) with the specification of the power
supply.
u-blox 5 modules can be operated in two different power modes: Max. Performance or Eco mode. Select
Eco mode for reduced current consumption. For FW 6.00 and additional Power Save mode is available.

If you use an active antenna supervisor circuitry to detect open conditions, you need to verify resistor
reference recommendations in our integration manuals.
See chapter 2.7 EOS/ESD/EMI Precautions.
No need to power Vbat before power-up.
Check u-blox 5 Software Requirements:
Not all of the functionalities available with ANTARIS 4 are supported by u-blox 5 Firmware version 4.00,
4.01 or 5.00. These include:
KickStart - SuperSense
