the method selected for the rover’s connection setting,

either serial or Bluetooth. If you are using a radio link for

base corrections, and you are using a serial cable for both
base and rover, connect the cable to the rover to start the

connection. If you are using a radio link, and you are
using Bluetooth for either base or rover, tap Rover when
prompted for the receiver to connect to.

2. On the Rover Setup page, review the Measured antenna

height and the Measure To mark. When the rover
receiver has verified the base position it receives over the

bottom right of the screen.

Note: Since the rover GPS antenna is usually on top of the
EPOCH 25 receiver, which is on top of a fixed height pole, you

EPOCH 25 receiver. Be careful not to confuse this measure to
mark with the bottom of the antenna.

set, tap Next >.

point that matches the location of the base. One of four
screens will show:

allows you to specify if the base is setup on an existing

job point, or if you are creating a new job point with
the base setup. You will always see this screen for the

first GPS setup in a job without a coordinate system.

You will also see this screen if the base location
received by the rover is a new location in a job that

already has a coordinate system. Select the radio
