Warning:
1. only the battery and charger configured by the manufacturer
can be used; the battery shall not be thrown into fire or used in
metal short circuit electrode.
2. It shall stop using in case of heating, deformation, liquid
leakage, smelling or other abnormal reactions during using,
charging or storage process. Check whether the battery and
charger are in failure.
3. If the service time of battery is shortened or the battery is
aged,it shall exchange new battery.
Control Panel
Most settings and operations of receiver are completed using two
keys on control panel.

Key Functions
V60 GNSS RTK system can on or off LCD panel display through double
clicking power key. High-definition LCD panel can complete the basic
requirements of receiver with two keys, which also can flexibly set three
work modes, base, rover and static mode. The key operation of control

Notes:
1. Only when liquid crystal displays initial interface or state
information, can the equipment terminal software be connected with
host through serial port/Bluetooth. When liquid crystal interface is
in mode parameter setting interface, the terminal is unable to
connect with the host. It is necessary to wait for liquid crystal
operation and return to previous menu.
2. As for GSM data link parameter setting interface, the panel can be
effective only setting Hi-Target server IP: 202.96.185.34, port:
9000, group number (7 bits), team number (3 bits); if connected by
CORS, parameter setting shall be operated through Hi-Target
handbook software.
3. During the process of static data collection, it is effective to set
parameters (elevation angle, sampling interval). The successful
parameters will be effective upon restarting static collection.
4. If the keys are not operated exceeding 50 seconds under LCD state,
the LCD will close automatically and the system will enter into key
mode, in order to economize power consumption. The user can
double click power key to restart LCD.

necessary the carry out the operation during collection process, the
collection will continue to record new file after stopping records. At this
time, the static data have been stored in two files.
The receiver shall support SD card data. SD card slot is installed under
the battery. When the capacity of internal storage is not enough, the
system will automatically store the static data into SD card.
Before external data collection, it can use Y-type data line to connect the
computer and receiver. Through receiver management software,
manually set the storage location of static file in SD card/internal
memory. The setting is successful after restarting the instrument.

Preface
V60 receiver can be used in double-frequency static measurement. The
setting method is double clicking Fn key, and then the voice broadcast
will enter into work mode. Continue clicking Fn key and the work mode
of voice broadcast is static mode when the satellite light and state light
are on. Click power key to confirm. After successful setting, the red
state light will flash one by several seconds (according to the sampling
interval), one epoch will be collected by one flash. The static data can be
stored in host or SD card. If the static data document shall be
downloaded to computer, it shall use static post-processing software to
process.
Static Measurement
1. Setup the instrument in measurement point; align and level the
instrument.
2. Measure height of the instrument for three times; the difference
between two times shall not be more than 3mm; the average is
regarded as the final height of instrument. Height of instrument
refers to the distance between center of measurement point and
measurement marker line of instrument.
