detected receivers. Select the desired instrument for use with Survey
Pro.
2. Start Manual Setup: Tap this button to set up your receiver manually
through Bluetooth or a serial connection.
First select the brand and model of your GNSS receiver.
Then select the type of connection to the receiver. If it’s a Bluetooth
connection, check
Bluetooth and then tap the Bluetooth Settings button
to access the Windows Mobile Bluetooth utility. Tap Add new device..., let
the utility search for all the devices, select the one corresponding to
your GNSS receiver, tap

NOTE: The Bluetooth Device field lists the names of the previously detected
Bluetooth devices. Use this field only if the receiver you want to connect to was
detected beforehand, is still running nearby, or you know its Bluetooth name and
this name is still listed in the drop-down menu. Only in that case can you
directly select the Bluetooth name from that list and quickly establish a
connection with the receiver.
If it’s a serial connection, check Serial and select the port used on the
data collector side for this connection.
