. Determine Display Location: Normally, the display is located above and behind the center of the steering wheel just below the driver's line of sight. The easiest installation is on the front glass of the cab. If that's not possible, it can vacuum mount to any non porous (metal) surface or the vacuum mount can be removed and the bracket mounted with bolts. 4. Mount Display Unit: THOROUGHLY clean the inside cab window surface directly in front of the steering wheel.
POWER UP SETUP 1. Turn Unit On, After Starting Engine: Toggle the power switch located on the right end of the display. The RED status light will illuminate.

4. Making A New First Pass: Let's say you've made several passes and then want to start a new line that doesn't follow the last one. Simply drive where you want to go. Once it becomes obvious that you're not guiding from another pass, the unit will go back into logging pass mode. CONTOUR GUIDANCE 1. Background: Choose contour guidance whenever you want to follow previous passes. In this mode, you are either logging an initial pass or guiding from a previous pass.
4. Switching Modes: You may switch between straight and contour modes at will. When switching to straight mode for the second time, you are given the option of using the previous A=B line or setting a new one. HEADLAND PRESENCE The headland presence indicators display anytime that the antenna crosses into a previously applied area. This feature may be turned on or off from the setup menu. Headland Indicators 5.
CONTOUR & STRAIGHT GUIDANCE SUMMARY Item CONTOUR MODE STRAIGHT MODE Mode of Operation Work Recorded In Memory Freestyle. Guide relative to any previous pass. Yes. In fact, the recorded pass defines where the next pass will be guided. Predefined straight parallel and numbered passes. Yes. Although, recorded work in straight mode is not used for guidance, it would be used if the operator switches to contour mode and then wishes to make A=B Points required No. Guidance is based on previous passes.
Stop Guidance and Resuming at a Future Time: Any time the operator needs to suspend field application, whether for an hour or days, the following procedure will allow guidance to be resumed without interruption. USING e-DifTM CORRECTION The patented e-Dif™ correction method uses only the standard GPS satellites and does not require an external correction signal of any type. It works by analyzing the error trends from the GPS satellites and projects new correction values into the future.

A: To erase the memory in the Outback STM, first press the STOP GUIDANCE button. Next, press the down arrow to place the pointer next to ERASE MEMORY. If ERASE MEMORY does not appear, simply press the down arrow until it does. Finally, press the enter button to select the function. Q: How do I perform headlands? A: This is very easy. Usually headlands are performed in contour mode. Make one pass and then use the guide on the second pass. Do this wherever turning will be done.
