GPS LINK OK
After Powering the Handheld device, the GPS LINK LED will be blinking red meaning the
GPS receiver in the unit has not achieved a GPS lock yet, and the current position is not
known. The Handheld unit cannot be used to install a meter until GPS lock is achieved.

2.1 In an outdoor open space, hold the unit with LEDs pointing towards the sky. The
unit can also be placed face up on any flat surface until GPS lock is achieved. If
the handheld unit is turned on after being off for several hours, GPS lock may take
longer, up to four minutes. After that, the unit should only take a few seconds to
acquire a GPS lock. When a GPS lock is acquired, the GPS LINK OK LED will
light solid green. A solid green light means that GPS coordinates are updating
every second.
If the handheld device is taken to an unfavorable RF location, such as under a building,
the GPS LINK OK LED will blink green once a second. This indicates that the
coordinates in the Handheld are not updating, and the last known coordinates will be
used. The handheld unit can still be used to install meters in this state.

LED
When the installation process is complete, if successful, the METER INSTALL OK LED
will turn solid green for approximately four seconds. If the installation is not successful,
the METER INSTALL OK LED will not be lit in any color. If the meter installation
process is not successful, the installation process may be repeated. If the installation
fails two consecutive times, the meter is not functioning properly and should be
replaced.
