Use thebattery status indicator in data collection software to confirm which battery is “inuse”before hot-swapping batteries.Press button to open battery door compartmentUse the guide to slide the battery into the G2100Swivel the battery door compartment up and push from the bottom until it latchescompletelyWhat you need to knowHow long can eachbattery last when usingG2100? A battery can last 4 - 5 hoursWill the G2100 swap to afully charged battery ifone discharges? Yes. No user action is requiredCan I remove one of thebatteries while the G2100is in use?Before battery removal, use data collection softwareto check which battery is in use. Remove the batterynot in useHow long does it take tocharge a battery? It takes 2 hours to fully charge a batteryHow do I know if batteryis fully charged?

Page |194. Frequently Asked Questions4.1. Question: Where is the Antenna Reference Point (ARP) located on theG2100?Answer: The ARP is the bottom of the bolt on the underside of the G2100.For more information see section 3.5 GNSS Antenna Offsets:Figure 10: ARP Diagram4.2. Question: Does the G2100 L1 vertical offset need to be added to themeasured height to the bolt?Answer: No. Data collection software adds the vertical offset automaticallywhen the appropriate antenna type is selected.4.3. Question:How do I know which battery I can remove without havingoperations interrupted?Answer: Use the battery status indicator in data collection software toconfirm which battery is “in use” before hot-swapping batteries.4.4. Question:How do I configure a unit back to the PENTAX factory defaults?Answer: Located on the PENTAX CD there is a text file called“G2100_Default_Config.txt” Follow the instruction to upload that file into theG2100 in this manual.4.5. Question: What are the correct specifications for a GSM SIM card in orderfor it to operate with the G2100?Answer: There are three key items that must be specified to get the correctGSM SIM card and service from your cellular service provider;GSM SIM card (not UMTS)Data service onlyNo IMEI number (i.e. no associated hardware/handset)SIM cards that had one or more of the above 3 features incorrect did notwork.
Page |204.6. Question: Why am I not receiving GLONASS corrections?Answer: You must first verify that the base station transmits GLONASScorrections. The G2100 first utilizes GPS satellites to get to RTK Fixed status.Then if more than 2 acceptable GLONASS satellites are available, RTK FixedGPS+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 Stationreceiver is set up and using more than 5 common Satellites. Check RoverConfiguration; make sure that it is configured to use the correct RTK formatcorrections. Both Base Station and Rover must use the same UHF RadioChannel and same correction format.4.8. Question: How do I know which message type to select RTCM V2.3, RTCMV3.0, CMR, or CMR+?Answer: Base stations transmit different messages types. It is important toconfirm what message type(s) the base is transmitting so the Rover can beset accordingly.4.9. Question: How can I verify the Windows Mobile® version my hand helddevice is operating on?Answer: As of Dec. 2012, TIAsahi is delivering Getac PS535F with WindowsMobile® version 6.1 classic. To confirm this version, in the main view of thecontroller, select the Start Menu, next click Settings Menu, then select theSystem tab, lastly select the About icon which will display the WindowsMobile® 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 serialcable takes precedence over Bluetooth® connectivity, and because of thisBluetooth® is unable to connect when the cable is attached. Also verify theBluetooth® is ON/Visible on the controller. Lastly, uploading the PENTAXdefault 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 effectmight this have on any operations?Answer: The G2100 is designed to operate reliably from -20 to +65 °C. Likemost manufacturers, we test beyond that limit to ensure we can operate atthe 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 datacollection software. Selecting the wrong model version will causecommunication issues with the GSM modem.
