POWER UP
1. Turn Unit On, After Starting Engine: Toggle the
power switch located on the right end of the display.

a few minutes. During this process, the vehicle can be
moving or the operator can perform menu functions.
Upon achieving a GPS signal, the YELLOW status light
will illuminate. Finally, once the DGPS correction signal
is acquired, a GREEN status light will illuminate. The
GREEN DGPS light must be present for the Outback S

CORRECTION TYPES
The differential correction type used by the Outback S TM
is selected from the two options loaded into the receiver.
WAAS and e-Dif
TM are the factory installed options with
other types available as field installed options. The cor-
rection type can be changed from the CORRECTION
TYPE item in the setup menu (see page 5). Choose
WAAS, e-Dif
TM , EGNOS, OmniStar, or other field
installed correction option(s).
WAAS is free and is available anywhere in North
America. e-Dif
TM , as factory installed, is pre-activated
with a secondary one-time subscription code which can
be used only in North America. A one-time primary sub-
scription to e-Dif
TM may be purchased for use anywhere
in the world.
EGNOS, like WAAS, is also free and is available in
Europe. OmniStar correction service is available
throughout the world, however, an annual subscription
must be purchased. Field installation of OmniStar cor-
rection must replace one of the existing correction types
and may be performed either from a PC or from an
Outback 360
TM .

NOTE: The use of e-Dif™ on OUTBACK Guidance®
equipment as a GPS differential correction is intended
only for relative guidance applications and is not recom-
mended for data recording and subsequent comparative
analysis. Relative positional accuracy will typically drift at
a rate of 1-2 meters (3-6.5 feet) per hour; however,
absolute positional accuracy errors may approach ±10
meters (±33 feet).
