3. Operating the System
The precisionAG software provides a user-friendly graphical interface for setting up and executing guidance tasks.
3.1 Initial Software Configuration
Upon first use or after a software update, you may need to configure basic settings such as language, measurement units (m, ft, cm, inch), and speed units (km/h, mph). Ensure the correct receiver type (T100 Single antenna) is selected in the system settings for normal operation.

3.2 Setting Guidance Lines
The system supports various guidance modes to suit different field shapes and tasks:
- AB Straight: For straight-line navigation. Set point A at the head of the field, drive forward, and set point B.
- ABC Straight: Similar to AB straight, but allows for a third point to define a longer straight line.
- ABC Curve: For curved paths. Set points A, B, and C to define the curve.
- LastPass: Follows the previously recorded path.
Ensure the autopilot function is turned off when manually setting guidance lines. The software provides visual cues and large iconic buttons for easy operation.

4. Accuracy and Performance
The JY100 system offers high accuracy for various farming needs:
- PPP (Precise Point Positioning): Achieves 10cm accuracy without the need for a network or base station.
- CORS (Continuously Operating Reference Stations): With CORS network station, accuracy can reach 2.5cm.
- Offline Accuracy: Provides up to 30cm accuracy without RTK base station or network.
The system supports multiple GNSS constellations (GPS L1, L2; GLONASS L1, L2; BeiDou B1, B2, B3) and frequencies, ensuring strong anti-interference capabilities and excellent satellite signal collection for reliable performance in diverse environments.

- Cable Inspection: Periodically inspect all cables for any signs of wear, damage, or corrosion. Replace damaged cables immediately to prevent system malfunction.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your JY100 system, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:
- No GPS Signal: Ensure the GNSS antenna has a clear view of the sky. Check all antenna cable connections. Verify the receiver type is correctly selected in the software settings.
- Inaccurate Guidance: Check the number of search stars (preferably above 25). Ensure implement width and offset settings are accurate in the software. Verify the correct guidance mode (straight, curve) is selected.
- Software Freezing/Crashing: Restart the application or the tablet. Ensure the software is updated to the latest version.
- Power Issues: Check all power cable connections. Ensure the tractor's power supply is stable.
For persistent issues or complex problems, please refer to the detailed troubleshooting section in the full user guide or contact SMAJAYU technical support.
