– Insert a fresh battery or connect the receiver to an

external power supply.

– Turn the receive back on and launch MobileMapper

Field. This will re-open the last job open.

– Quit MobileMapper Field. Only from this this moment

can the job file be dowloaded to your computer with
the last logged feature (line or polygon) fully restored.

• If MobileMapper Field fails to save a feature because

there is not enough memory left, you can still delete
unnecessary files and try again. Follow the instructions
below when this happens.

– Minimize MobileMapper Field

– Run File Explorer

– Delete unnecessary files

– Return to MobileMapper Field and stop logging the

feature. The feature will normally be saved if enough
memory space has been cleared.

Repeating

Attributes

The

Repeat Attributes function lets the receiver automatically

duplicate the attributes from your last logged feature to the
next one (mandatory attributes, if any, will also be
duplicated). This will however be possible only if the next
feature you want to log is of the same type as the feature you
have just logged.

Follow the instructions below to use the

Repeat Attributes

function:

• Go to a feature, log this feature and enter all its attributes,

as is normally done.

• Go to the next feature. After having tapped

Log and made

sure the same type of feature is selected, you will see the
Repeat Attributes option appear at the bottom of the screen.

• Enable this option and tap

OK to start collecting the

feature data. When the receiver has finished collecting the
data, the screen will display the position and attributes of
the feature. Note that all the feature attributes are exactly
those of the previous feature, which is precisely what you
wanted to get.

• Just tap

OK to complete the collection of the feature and

proceed to the next one.

The

Repeat Attributes function will help you work faster when

logging a series of similar features presenting the same
attributes. For example, the function will be useful if you are
