To set up and connect the instrument

1. Plumb the instrument.
2. Use the tripod legs and the tribrach bubble to roughly level the instrument.
3. Start the instrument.

4. Connect the controller to the instrument. Connection options depend on the instrument you are using.

   A cable connection requires no configuration. For other connection types, refer to the appropriate topic:

   • Radio connections
   • Bluetooth connections
   • Instrument Wi-Fi connections

5. On the controller, start Trimble Access.

   If the Trimble Access software does not automatically connect to the instrument, see Auto‑connect settings.

   Use the status bar to confirm the software is connected to the instrument.
