Absolute Survey Base Mode Select if exact location of guidance tracks need to be stored for future guidance applications without relying on visual reference for track position to align using Shift Track feature. Track 0 must be stored using Current Track 0 in Guidance Setup › Set Track 0 in order to follow previously used tracks. Absolute Base Mode requires 24-hour self survey to be conducted on location before first use. After survey is completed, base station will then transmit corrections. If base station is moved to another position and then returned to original surveyed position, it is very important that base station is mounted in exact same position. Any difference between original surveyed position and mounted position will result in offset of corrected position. For this reason, it is important to mount receiver to a fixed position like a building or post mounted in concrete.

OFF Mode This mode disables all RTK functionality in receiver. RTK Operating Mode must be OFF for normal SF1 or SF2 operation on SF2-licensed receiver.
