1.1 Foreword
V90 Plus is a new type of GNSS receiver by Hi-Target that is used for measurements. With a
hi-tech, fully integrated design, the conveniently sized V90 Plus is one of the most flexible
choices for any measuring task. It has a built-in Linux 3.2.0 operating system, pre-loaded
multiple smart applications, such as tilt surveying, electronic bubble calibration, NFC and voice
DIY. The LEDs enable you to monitor satellite tracking, radio reception, the data logging status,
Wi-Fi status, and power. The product’s Bluetooth wireless technology provides cable-free
communications between the receiver and controller. The V90 Plus GNSS system provides
surveyors with industry-leading GNSS solutions.
Warning: The instructions do not provide a standard configuration. The articles
within the box can be adjusted according to different user requirements. Suggestions

1.3 Precautions
1. Environmental Requirements
The receiver should be operated in a dry working environment, regardless of its waterproof
materials. In order to increase the receiver’s stability and service cycle, it should be kept away
from extreme environments, such as:
Moisture
Temperatures above 65 degrees centigrade
Temperatures below -40 degrees centigrade
Corrosive liquids or gases
2. Electronic Jamming
The receiver should not be installed in a place near to strong electric power or a signal that
can cause interference, such as:
An oil duct (spark plugs)
Generator
Battery-operated motorcycle
DC-AC power supply changeover equipment

V90 Plus GNSS RTK System
11
Signal transmitting station (tower)
Power supply
3. Battery safety
Warning:
1. You must use the battery and charger that has been configured by the
manufacturer. Do not throw them into the fire or use the metallic short-circuit
electrode.
2. There is a certain quantity of electricity already in the battery for its first use.
Therefore, the battery should not be charged until this quantity of electricity has been
used up. It should be charged for 12 hours the first three times and then it can be
charged normally after that. Do not charge for more than 24 hours.
3. 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.
4. If the service life of the battery has been obviously shortened, please stop using the
battery. This indicates that the battery is old, so please replace it with a new one.

4. Bottom Cover
5. Upper Cover
V90 Plus mainly consists of three parts – the upper cover, bottom cover and the control panel.
In the middle of the mainframe is the control panel, which contains a power button and three
indicator lamps. Only the power button can complete all of the functions and settings. There are
three indicator lamps. These are, from left to right, a satellite lamp (a single green lamp), power
lamp (a bi-color red and green lamp) and status lamp (a bi-color red and green lamp).

Note:
1. Please cover the 5-core socket with the plug when the product is not in use.
2. The speaker is likely to fall silent or go hoarse when water enters it, but it can
recover when the speaker is dry again.

Note: The receiver is equipped with a UHF built-in radio antenna and a 3G/GPRS
antenna. Select the right antenna type according to the different working mode you
require. Please use the UHF built-in radio antenna when using the “UHF base
station”/”UHF rover station” mode, and the 3G/GPRS antenna when using the
“GSM base station”/”GSM rover station”.

Figure 2-1-7 Batteries
The receiver has one rechargeable lithium-ion battery, which can be removed for charging. You
can also connect the receiver to an external power source through the 5-pin socket.
Use the Hi-Target CL-8410 lithium battery charger to charge the BL-5000 lithium battery for
about 7 hours. This is designed with a charge lamp, which turns red during the charging process
and green when it is fully charged. The battery will continue to charge for another 1 to 1.5 hours.
2.2 Button
V90 Plus has an optimized and simplified design，with button operation and a more convenient
and concise control panel.
1. Control panel
Most of the V90 Plus Receiver’s settings and operations can be conducted by using the power
button, which is below the control panel.
