Connect to the X7/X9 Scanner

FieldLink allows you to connect to several different types of instruments. Make sure you are connected to the X7/X9 by executing the following procedure:

1. Tap the Device icon and then tap Connection. The connection window opens.
2. Place the battery into the X7/X9 with the battery indicator up and the charging ports facing the inside of the X7/X9.
3. Press the power button on the X7/X9.
4. Wait until the lights flash green, and then tap the X7/X9 device icon in the Connection menu.
5. Select the Wi-Fi or cable connection option.
6. If the Wi-Fi option is selected, a list of available X7/X9 Wi-Fi networks available is shown. Make sure you have disconnected from any other Wi-Fi networks. Tap on the correct X7/X9 device (eg: TRIMBLE-X7/X9-XXXXX). If you do not see your device listed, tap the Find button.
7. Tap Connect on the correct device.
8. Once the layout or collection process is complete and you wish to disconnect from the instrument, tap the Disconnect icon in the Connection window before turning off the X7/X9. Tapping the Disconnect icon helps ensure a proper shutdown and later reconnection.
9. Remove the X7/X9 battery. Though it is not required, it is best practice to store the X7/X9 with the battery out of the instrument for storage and shipping.
