3. Operation Guide

GNSS Positioning

The device utilizes a high-sensitivity GNSS chip to acquire satellite signals for precise positioning. For optimal signal reception, operate the device in an open area with a clear view of the sky.

Area Measurement

The device supports both regular and irregular area measurements, suitable for various land shapes such as squares, rectangles, polygons, triangles, circles, ovals, and other irregular terrains.

Normal Area Measurement

Image: Detailed instructions for performing a normal area measurement. It shows a green field with red dots indicating measurement points and a red line tracing the perimeter. The text outlines steps to start, pause, and save measurement data using the device's buttons.

• At the starting point, press the [Start] button to begin measurement in the main interface.
• To return to the starting point in a circle around the ground, press the [Stop] button to pause the measurement and view the measurement data.
• Press the power button to end measurement and save data.

Distance Measurement

This function is used for measuring straight lines, curves, and slope distances with high accuracy.

Normal Distance Measurement

• In the main interface, press the [Start] button for 3 seconds to measure at the starting point.
• Walk along the measuring line to the end point and press the [Stop] button to pause measurement and view the measurement data.
• If the measurement is not completed, press the [Start] button again to continue the measurement. If the measurement is completed, press the power button to save the data.

Slope Measurement

Manually input the gradient value to easily measure slopes from 0-90 degrees, creating real-time graphs as you walk.

Image: Instructions for slope measurement. A mountain landscape is depicted with a red triangular overlay indicating the area being measured for slope. A small figure with a flag marks a point on the slope. The text provides steps for setting the gradient, switching to slope measurement, and recording data.

• In the Slope parameter setting, press the ▲▼ button to set the gradient.
• After setting is completed, press the power button to return to the main interface.
• In the main interface, press the ▲▼ button to switch function to "Slope measurement".
• Press the [Start] button at the starting point and circle the slope.
• Back to the starting point, press the [Stop] button to pause measurement and view data. If the measurement is not completed, press the [Start] button again to continue the measurement. If the measurement is completed, press the power button to save the data.

Round-trip Machine Load Measurement

This feature is primarily used for measuring the area around the ground, especially applicable to various types of agricultural machinery. It automatically identifies and avoids recalculating repeated areas.

• At the Round-trip machine load in parameter setting, press the ▲▼ button to set the width.
• After setting is completed, press the power button to return to the main interface.
• Press the ▲▼ button to switch function to "Round-trip machine load" in the main interface.
• Press [Start] button at the starting point to start the measurement at the beginning of the work.
• Press the [Stop] button to pause measurement and view data after agricultural machinery work is completed. If the measurement is not completed, press the [Start] button again to continue the measurement. If the measurement is completed, press the power button to save the data.

Voice-Assisted Operation

The device provides clear English audio prompts to guide you through operations, which is particularly useful in noisy outdoor environments where visual cues might be difficult to follow.

Data Export

The device supports data export, allowing you to transfer your measurement records to a computer for further analysis or archiving. Refer to the device's on-screen menu for specific data export options and connection instructions via USB.

4. Care and Maintenance

Cleaning

• Wipe the device with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Ensure the USB port cover is securely closed to maintain water and dust resistance.

Storage

• Store the device in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• If storing for an extended period, ensure the battery is partially charged (around 50%) to prolong its lifespan.

Battery Care

• Avoid fully discharging the battery frequently.
• Do not expose the device to temperatures below -20°C or above 70°C, as this can damage the battery.

5. Troubleshooting

Device Not Powering On

• Ensure the battery is sufficiently charged. Connect the device to a power source and try again.
• Perform a soft reset by holding the power button for an extended period (e.g., 10-15 seconds).

Inaccurate Readings / No GPS Signal

• Ensure you are in an open area with a clear view of the sky, away from tall buildings or dense foliage.
• Wait for the device to acquire an "Optimal signal" before starting measurements. This may take a few minutes.
• Check for any obstructions blocking the GPS antenna.

Screen Issues
