Home screen

The Home screen enables you to choose and connect to a GNSS receiver, and shows the status of the connected receiver.

NOTE – If the Battery optimization tile is shown, Trimble recommends you allow the Android operating system to disable the battery optimization feature for the Trimble Mobile Manager software to ensure continuous position delivery. To do this, tap Open Settings and allow Trimble Mobile Manager to run in the background (stop/disable battery optimization).

Device enables you to choose and connect to a receiver if not currently connected, and gives you a quick summary of the current status of the receiver and / or the current position solution if you are connected.

Connect to position source

To connect to a receiver, tap Select. For more information, see Connect to the GNSS receiver.

When connected to a receiver that has an internal battery, the battery status of the receiver is shown on the Connect to position source tile.

To set up a connection to a different receiver, tap and select Position source.

View receiver status

For all connected receivers, the Device tile shows:

  • The current position solution type, the battery level if available, the number of satellites in use.

  • The receiver type and serial number.

  • The current estimated horizontal precision, reported at the HRMS confidence level. This value is shown in the currently configured units.

  • The current estimated vertical precision, reported at the HRMS confidence level. This value is shown in the currently configured units.

  • Licenses currently in use. For Trimble "R" series receivers, Spectra Geospatial receivers, or a TDCxxx / MobileMapper xx handheld, any RTX license will show; for a Catalyst DA1 or DA2, the current subscription level will show. The subscription expiry date is also shown, or for Catalyst On Demand, the time.

For more detailed information, including position solution types that may appear on the GNSS status tile, see Status screen.

When the Trimble Mobile Manager software connects to the DA1 or DA2, it checks the installed firmware version. If a firmware update is available, a notification appears on-screen, and an Update now option becomes available in the Statusscreen.

For more information on downloading and installing updates, see Update DA1 or DA2 receiver firmware.
