If you are using Trimble GIS software (for example, TerraSync software, Trimble Positions software,
or the GPSPathfinder Field toolkit) on devices powered by the Windows Embedded Handheld or
Windows Desktop operating systems, you do not need to install the GNSSStatus utility, unless you
want to install an option (subscription service) that you have purchased (see Receiver options, page
17). You can connect to the R1 GNSSreceiver from within the software when the receiver is in
Bluetooth pairing mode, as with other Trimble GIS external receivers.
