RTK Rover Setup
Prerequisites
• Insert a freshly charged battery into the ProFlex 800.
• Use a range pole fitted with a 5/8” male adaptor at the
upper end (not provided).
• Mount the GNSS antenna at the top of the range pole.
• Connect coaxial cable P/N P076510A to the GNSS
antenna.
• If a radio link is used with the base, your rover should
normally have been fitted with the radio receiver kit that 
matches the reception band covered by the radio 
transmitter used at the base.
• If a GPRS connection is used, your rover should normally
have been fitted with the SIM card that will allow it to 
perform a network connection.
To connect a SIM card, open the trapdoor and remove the 
battery. The SIM card can be inserted in a dedicated 
socket located at the bottom of the compartment. Insert 
the SIM card as shown on the picture.
