Configuring your R780 receiver

Before you can use your R780 receiver, it must be loaded with its configuration that your Trimble dealer has set up:

  • Activation (to start the one year warranty)

  • Operating modes (for example, Base or Rover)

  • Options (for example, tilt compensation)

  • Optional extended warranties

  • Optional 450 MHZ radio transmit frequencies and Country Code

To then load the configuration or updates to the receiver, you need to run Trimble Installation Manager on your computer.

  2. Connect the receiver to your computer using the Lemo-to-USB accessory cable (PN 80751).
