  4. Press to change to Rover.
  5. Press to accept the change.
  6. Press again to move to the Elevation mask and RTK mode screen. See the next procedure.

Changing the elevation mask and RTK mode

In the Elevation mask and RTK mode screen:

  1. Press . When the value for the current elevation mask begins to flash, the receiver is in Edit mode and you can change the setting.
  2. Press to change the elevation mask to the required value.

    Trimble recommends that you do not set the elevation mask to a value lower than 10 degrees.
