Scope of this Guide
This guide is designed to help you rapidly familiarize yourself 
with your new equipment. It is more particularly focused on 
land surveying applications, when the ProFlex 800 is carried 
in a backpack and used with a data collector and survey field 
software.
However, other applications (machine guidance and marine 
surveying) are suggested in this guide, for example when 
describing the receiver (connectors, available accessories, 
etc.), and when presenting the different ways of installing the 
receiver. For detailed information about using ProFlex 800 in 
applications other than land surveying implying the use of a 
backpack, please refer to the ProFlex 800 Reference Manual.
For the sake of conciseness, only a selection of the many 
ProFlex 800 functions are presented in this guide.
Most notably, in the survey setups section, only the use of 
radios is fully described in the implementation of the data 
link. The other solutions are only outlined. For a full 
description of these solutions, please refer to the ProFlex 800 
Reference Manual.
