Additional Surveys:
1. If the base station is moved to a new location, a new survey is required to obtain absolute accuracy. The
base station will provide its best known position until a full survey is completed. It is recommended that
any new base station locations be at least 33 ft (10 m) from an existing saved location.
2. Follow the process in Initial Survey to survey additional locations.
3. After the additional survey has completed averaging position data for 24 hours, the base station will add
the new location to its data base.
4. The new location will be added as a potential candidate for future power ups.
Power Up At a Previously Surveyed Location:
1. Place the base station in exactly the same location as the previously surveyed location.
2. After applying power to the base station, monitor the LEDs on the front panel.
3. The base station will check the last known position.
4. Upon validating a stored position, the ST LED will stop blinking and be steadily lit, indicating that it has
validated its location and is outputting the stored location.
