Introduction
Antenna
Characteristics
The diagram below gives the dimensional parameters of the 
ProMark 800 antenna required for the system to determine 
the true height of the antenna from the measured value 
obtained using one of the standard height measurement 
methods, i.e. slant or vertical.
The height mark allows you to hook the measure tape onto it 
so you can unroll the tape down to the survey mark and read 
the slant height measurement directly on the tape.
Special Button
Combinations
• With the ProMark 800 OFF, pressing the Power, Log and
Scroll buttons simultaneously for a few seconds will 
restore all the factory settings. Always use this 
combination after changing the radio module. This allows 
the receiver to recognize the new module.
• With the ProMark 800 OFF and a USB key connected,
pressing the Power and Scroll buttons simultaneously for 
a few seconds will cause the ProMark 800 to start a 
firmware upload process. If there is no USB key 
connected or the key does not contain a firmware upgrade, 
then the process will abort after a few seconds.
Because data has to be decompressed on the USB key 
during upgrades, the USB key must be unlocked, with at 
least 10 MBytes of free memory, before starting the 
upgrade.
