NOTE 1: If you only need to access the SD card holder, you
may half-open the rubber flap. To do this, place three fingers
on the area marked “SIM” on the flap while grasping the
tongue to open the flap halfway (see [22]).
NOTE 2: To remove a SIM or SD card, simply push the card
a little bit further in causing the lock mechanism to be
released (a click can be heard). Then release the card, which
will then be automatically ejected.
Setting up the
Receiver
1. Mount the receiver and data collector on a range pole
(rover), or a tripod (base).
2. Measure and write down the vertical or slant distance from
the ground mark to respectively the lower part of the
receiver (ARP) (rover) or to the height mark (base). This
measurement will be required by your field software in a
further step.
3. Turn on the SP80 by holding depressed for about
2 seconds until the screen lights up. The status LED of
the battery being used turns solid green. Let the receiver
boot.
4. Meanwhile, turn on the data collector and run your field
software.
Running a Survey 1. Follow the instructions provided by your field software to
use the SP80 as desired (rover or base). The receiver will
beep when a Bluetooth connection is established with the
data collector.
2. Start your survey job when ready.
3. From time to time, take a look at the battery LEDs on the
front panel. As long as the two LEDs are solid green, that
means the first battery used has enough energy left to
operate the receiver.
When the LED corresponding to the first battery used
starts blinking green – first at a slow rate (1 sec), then at
a faster rate (5 flashes a second) – that will mean the
battery is too low and power will soon switch automatically
to the other battery.
Note that there won’t be any disruption in receiver
operation when passing from the low to the fresh battery.
There won’t be any disruption either if you replace the low
battery with a new fresh one. This third battery will power
the receiver later when the second battery gets in turn too
low.
