4. Attach the screw-in Base Station antenna mast into the base mount. Screw in the Base
Station antenna to the top of the mast. Make sure the antenna is high enough to avoid in-
terference from nearby obstructions like overhead trees, bridges, or buildings. The antenna
is typically mounted directly on top of the RTK Base Station; however, it can be dismounted
and placed in a more ideal location as long as the antenna’s coaxial cable remains con-
nected to the RTK Base Station.
5. Open the RTK Base Station battery cover by loosening the two thumb screws on the bat-
tery cover. Insert the rechargeable battery pack by aligning the exposed cells with the
spring contacts. Check to make sure the O-ring seal is clear of all debris. When closing the
battery cover, securely tighten both thumb screws to maintain a waterproof seal.
6. Connect the SS Radio antenna male connector to the female connector in the RTK Base
Station.
7. Plug the male connector of the Base Station antenna cable to the female connector em-
bedded in the RTK Base Station.
8. Adjust the height of the tripod for the best line of sight to the remote PCM.
9. Important : If possible, avoid line of sight obstructions as they may decrease the communi-
cation range between the RTK Base Station and the PCM (on the boat). If needed, you can
add an extension cable between the RTK Base Station and SS Radio antenna to place the
SS antenna in a more ideal location.
10. Turn on system power by pressing the circular button on top of the communications box:
it should turn solid green once turned on.
11. The RTK Base Station has two LEDs. In all cases, a green light would indicate that the
component is functioning while a red/orange light would indicate that the system is not
functioning.
