4.6. Question: Why am I not receiving GLONASS corrections?

Answer: You must first verify that the base station transmits GLONASS

corrections. The G2100 first utilizes GPS satellites to get to RTK Fixed status.

Then if more than 2 acceptable GLONASS satellites are available, RTK Fixed

GPS+GLO RTK status is achieved.

4.7. Question: Why is my radio not receiving RTK corrections?

Answer: Check Base Station Configuration. Make sure that Base Station

receiver is set up and using more than 5 common Satellites. Check Rover

Configuration; make sure that it is configured to use the correct RTK format

corrections. Both Base Station and Rover must use the same UHF Radio

Channel and same correction format.

4.8. Question: How do I know which message type to select RTCM V2.3, RTCM

V3.0, CMR, or CMR+?

Answer: Base stations transmit different messages types. It is important to

confirm what message type(s) the base is transmitting so the Rover can be

set accordingly.

4.9. Question: How can I verify the Windows Mobile® version my hand held

device is operating on?

Answer: As of Dec. 2012, TIAsahi is delivering Getac PS535F with Windows

Mobile® version 6.1 classic. To confirm this version, in the main view of the

controller, select the Start Menu, next click Settings Menu, then select the

System tab, lastly select the About icon which will display the Windows

Mobile® version.

4.10. Question: I can’t connect to the G2100 via Bluetooth®, why not?

Answer: Make sure that the serial cable (COM1) is disconnected. The serial

cable takes precedence over Bluetooth® connectivity, and because of this

Bluetooth® is unable to connect when the cable is attached. Also verify the

Bluetooth® is ON/Visible on the controller. Lastly, uploading the PENTAX

default script will reset all COM ports and often fixes Bluetooth® connectivity.

4.11. Question: I noticed that the units get extremely hot at the top, what effect

might this have on any operations?

Answer: The G2100 is designed to operate reliably from -20 to +65 °C. Like

most manufacturers, we test beyond that limit to ensure we can operate at

the published extremes.

4.12. Question: I cannot connect using the GSM modem, why not?

Answer: Be sure that you are selecting the G2100 model in your data

collection software. Selecting the wrong model version will cause

communication issues with the GSM modem.
