Chapter 2: Installation and Setup
Powering Up S3 and BaseLineX
1. Turn on the S3. The BaseLineX rover radio power LED illuminates, indicating
connection.
2. Make sure the LOCRTK button is selected on the GPS Setup screen of the
GPS tab.
3. Turn on the BaseLineX base station. Set the power switch all the way up on
the BaseLineX base station to use the internal battery or all the way down to
use an external battery.
The power status indicator LED on the base station illuminates red when it is
powered up. The base station’s green GPS/radio indicator flashes when it is
broadcasting GPS corrections. For more information on BaseLineX refer to
the BaseLineX User Guide (available from the Outback Guidance website at
www.outbackguidance.com).
Note: The S3 must receive consistent corrections from the base station for
up to 15 minutes to achieve RTK lock (maximum accuracy.) However, the
vehicle can be moving during this time.
The Map screen displays BaseLineX status information as soon as radio
communication has been established.
Note: For more information on installing and configuring BaseLineX, refer
to the BaseLineX User Guide (available from the Outback Guidance website
at www.outbackguidance.com).
