Safety Warnings
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by
the U.S. Government, which is solely responsible
for the accuracy and maintenance of the GPS
network. Accuracy can also be affected by poor
satellite geometry and obstructions, like buildings
and heavy canopy.
FCC interferencestatement
This equipment has been designed to comply with
the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to
part 15 of the FCC Rules in the Portable Mode.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation.
Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful
interference and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.

SAFETY INFORMATION
Before you use your CHC X360 GIS Receiver, make sure that you have read
and understood all safety requirements.
REGULATIONS AND SAFETY
The Receiver contains an internal wireless modem for communicating signals
through Bluetooth® wireless technology or through an external data
communications radio. Regulations regarding the use of the wireless modem
vary greatly from country to country. In some countries, the unit can be used
without obtaining an end-user license. Other countries require end-user
licensing. For licensing information, consult your local CHC dealer.
Before operating a X360 GIS Receiver, determine if authorization or a
license to operate the unit is required in your country. It is the responsibility
of the end-user to obtain an operator's permit or license for the Receiver
for the location or country of use.
TYPE APPROVAL
Type approval, or acceptance, covers technical parameters of the equipment
related to emissions that can cause interference. Type approval is granted to
the manufacturer of the transmission equipment, independent from the
operation or licensing of the units. Some countries have unique technical
requirements for operation in particular radio modem frequency bands. To
comply with those requirements, CHC may have modified your equipment to
be granted Type approval. Unauthorized modification of the units voids the
Type approval, the warranty, and the operational license of the equipment.
EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY RADIATION
Safety. Exposure to RF energy is an important safety consideration. The FCC
has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency
electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated equipment. Proper use of
this radio modem results in exposure below government limits. The
following precautions are recommended:
C. Do not operate the transmitter when someone is 20 cm (7.8 inches) of
the antenna.
D. Do not operate the transmitter unless all RF connectors are secure and
any open connectors are correctly terminated.

E. Do not operate the equipment near electrical blasting caps or in an

explosive atmosphere.
F. All equipment must be correctly grounded for safe operation.
G. All equipment should be serviced only by a qualified technician.
BATTERY SAFETY
WARNING –Do not damage the rechargeable Lithium-ion battery. A
damaged battery can cause an explosion or fire, and can result in personal
injury and/or property damage. To prevent injury or damage:
•Do not use or charge the battery if it appears to be damaged. Signs
of damage include, but are not limited to, discoloration, warping,
and leaking battery fluid.
•Do not expose the battery to fire, high temperature, or direct
sunlight.
•Do not immerse the battery in water.
•Do not use or store the battery inside a vehicle during hot weather.
•Do not drop or puncture the battery.
•Do not open the battery or short-circuit its contacts.
WARNING –Avoid contact with the rechargeable Lithium-ion battery if it
appears to be leaking. Battery fluid is corrosive, and contact with it can result
in personal injury and/or property damage. To prevent injury or damage:
•If the battery leaks, avoid contact with the battery fluid.
•If battery fluid gets into your eyes, immediately rinse your eyes with
clean water and seek medical attention. Do not rub your eyes!
•If battery fluid gets onto your skin or clothing, immediately use
clean water to wash off the battery fluid.
WARNING –Charge and use the rechargeable Lithium-ion battery only in
strict accordance with the instructions. Charging or using the battery in
unauthorized equipment can cause an explosion or fire, and can result in
personal injury and/or equipment damage. To prevent injury or damage:
B. Do not charge or use the battery if it appears to be damaged or
leaking.
C. Charge the Lithium-ion battery only in a CHC product that is
specified to charge it.
D. Discontinue charging a battery that gives off extreme heat or a
burning odor.
E. Use the battery only in CHC equipment that is specified to use it.
F. Use the battery only for its intended use and according to the
instructions in the product documentation.

Safety Information
DC POWER SUPPLY SAFETY
WARNING –When DC voltage is applied to this Receiver through COM 1 or
COM 2 (Lemo connectors), the DC voltage must be limited to no more than
36 V DC +0% under both normal and single fault conditions. If the
recommended input voltage is exceeded, the Receiver may present an
electrical hazard.
WET LOCATION SAFETY
WARNING –This Receiver is not intended to be used in a wet location, or a
location that may become wet, when it is powered by the external DC power
supply. Use the Receiver in a wet location only when operating it on its own
internal battery.
WARNING –The external power adapter and its associated power cord and
plug are not intended to be installed outdoors, or in a wet location.
WARNING –Do not power the Receiver through external power when
operating in a wet environment or an environment that may become wet.
The power input connections must be sheltered.

A. INTRODUCTION
The X360 GIS Receiver User Guide describes how to set up and use the CHC
X360 GIS Receiver.
In this manual, “the Receiver” refers to the X360 GIS Receiver unless
otherwise stated.
Even if you have used other Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS)
products before, CHC recommends that you spend some time reading this
manual to learn about the special features of this product. If you are not
familiar with GNSS, go to www.chcnav.com for an interactive look at CHC
and GNSS.
A.I. ABOUT THE RECEIVER
The X360 GIS Receiver (“the Receiver”) is a multiple-frequency GNSS
Receiver. It can track all GPS (L1/L2/)
You can use the front panel of the Receiver or an office computer to
configure the Receiver, access files, and publish data files to a company
Intranet or to the Internet. The Receiver makes it easy for you to set up
a powerful, flexible, and reliable station for continuousoperation.
The Receiver serves in all commongeodetic Receiver roles. It can be the
main component in a ContinuouslyOperating Station (CORS),streaming
data to CHC GNSS Infrastructure software. It can also work well as a
campaign Receiver prior to permanent deployment. The Receiver makes
an excellent portable RTK base station with its internal battery. It alsohas
specialized capabilities that make it an excellent Receiver for scientific
applications.
A.II. TECHNICAL SUPPORT
If you have a problem and cannot find the information you need in the
product documentation or CHC website (www.chcnav.com), contact your
local CHC dealer from which you purchased the Receiver(s).
If you need to contact CHC technical support, please contact us by email
