If the GPS engine will not lock:
• Place it in a position that has a good view of the sky in all directions, on the roof of a
parked car is usually good
• Power on the Hexcorder Pro
• Leave it alone for 10 minutes or so
• Usually, the GPS will lock in this situation
If the GPS loses lock while in survey mode, this is not a problem. The PPS (Pulse Per Second)
signal will be internally generated by the receiver’s real-time clock and the ON/OFF measurements
will still be accurate. The GPS will typically regain lock long before timing drift has any influence
on the recorded data.
NOTE: The Hexcorder Pro uses the UTC date and time supplied by the GPS satellite system. The
displayed time and time stored in the data can be set to your local time zone in the “parameters”
screen, accessed from the Settings tab.
