Cautions:
1. when 8-core socket or 5-core socket is not in use, please cover them with the plug.
2. When water enters into the trumpet, it is likely that the trumpet is silent or hoarse.The voice can
recover after the trumpet is dry.

1. 5-core socket: It is also known as COM2/PW2, which is generally used to connect the receiver
with external data chain or the external power supply.
2. 8-core socket: It is also known as COM1/USB/PW1, which is used to connect with computer,
handheld controller and other equipment for downloading and deleting data.
Cautions: All the above are the front diagrams of sockets at the bottom of receiver when facing
to the receiver. (Namely the face of weld of plug)

Environmental requirements
V60 receiver is designed by waterproof material but please try to keep its environment dry. In order
to improve the stability and service life, please avoid the receiver from being exposed to extreme
environment for use, for example:
◇Humid environment
◇Temperature of higher than 65°C
◇Lower than -40°C
◇Corrosive liquid or gas
Electronic interference sources
Do not set the GNSS receiver at the place near electric power or strong interference signal, such as:
◇petroleum pipeline
◇Television and computer monitor
◇Generator
◇Electric motors
◇DC - AC power conversion equipment
◇Fluorescent lamp
◇Power switch

Power supply mode
Table 3.1Power supply mode of V60 signal receiver
V60 receiver can be supplied with the power by the external power supply of 8-core socket and
5-core socket at the bottom of receiver ,in which, once external power supply of 8-core socket is
powered on, the receiver can power on automatically. When the external power supply of 5-core
socket is powered on, the receiver can be powered on by pressing the power button on the control
panel of receiver.
External voltage range for GSM operation mode and UHF rover station is DC 6-28V and the current
shall be more than 1000mA. If there is external power supply, the receiver will choose the higher
voltage between the lithium and external power supplies. If it is needed to use the external power
supply, it is required to use the special power supply designated by Hi-Target.
Cautions:
1. Service time of lithium battery will decrease with the reduction of temperature and increase of
charging and discharging times. Generally, one new 5000 m Ah lithium battery can be used for
13-15 hours for static data collection, or 10-12 hours as GPRS Rover, or 8-10 hours as internal
transceiver transmitting station.
2. In case that electric quantity is used up, in order to avoid battery performance from damage, it
shall be used again after continuous charging for 24 hours.
3. If the battery is not used for a long time, in order to prolong its service time, please charge the
battery once per month.

BL-5000 lithium battery must be charged by CL-8410 lithium battery charger dedicated by
Hi-Target. Charging time is about 7 hours.CL-4400 chargers is designed with charging lamps, which
becomes red during the charging period, and becomes green after charging. Then continue charging
for 1-1.5 hours until the electric quantity of battery is in full state.

1.2 Buttons operation and screen display
1. Control panel
For Hi-Target V60 receiver, most settings and operations can be realized by two keys on the control
panel.
Warnings:
1. only use battery and charger configured by manufacturer, and do not throw them into the fire or
use the metallic short-circuit electrode.
2. In case of heating, deformation, liquid leakage, smell emission or other anomaly phenomenon
during the use, charging or storage period of the battery, please stop using and replace it with new
one.
3. If the service time of the battery is shortened obviously, please stop using the battery. It indicates
that the battery has been aged; please replace it with new one.

Attentions:
1. When the LCD interface is in the mode of parameter setting, and handheld controller cannot
connect with the receiver, it is required to wait for liquid-crystal operation to return to the main
menu.
2. For GSM data chain interface of parameter setting, it can take effect only by setting Hi-Target
server IP: 202.96.185.34; Port: 9000; Grouping number (7 bits); Group number (3 bits) on the panel.
Connect by CORS; the parameter setting must be conducted by the Hi-Target handheld controller
software.
3. The parameter setting (elevating angle, sampling interval) will be invalid during the static data
collection, and the successful parameter setting will take effect when the next static collection starts.
4. If button operation does not be made more than 50s under the liquid crystal display status, the LCD
can be turned off automatically and the system enters into pure button mode for saving power
consumption. The user can double click power button to restart the LCD.
3. Turn off the LCD only by button operation
If there is no LCD display status, work mode can be switched by two buttons and voice can be
provided to assist the user to complete the operation.

Voice prompts the current work mode, data
chain mode and radio power and channel;
meanwhile, the power lamp indicates the battery
capacity.
Firstly press Fn button, then press power button
for power on and do not loosen Fn button until
"Ding-dong" sound is heard. Voice prompts
confirmation and current status of receiver.
Reset mainboard. After resetting the receiver, if
the handheld controller bluetooth cannot be
connected with the receiver, firstly adjust the
receiver to be in the static mode and adjust it
back after starting the collection.

SIM /USIM card
Receiver adopts network data chain mode to implement RTK operation. It is necessary to prepare
network communication card and open corresponding data communication services. The required
number of card is determined according to your RTK measurement system configuration. Each
receiver and handheld controller can be equipped with one card. The receiver supports SIM card and
USIM card.

5.Transceiver
UHF transceiver
Internal transmitter-receiver (Standard configuration)
Band of transceiver: 450-470MHz, 116 channels can be switched over flexibly.
Transmitted power can be adjusted among 1W, 2W and 5W.
Transmission rate: 19.2Kbps and 9.6Kbps, which are available for adjustment.
PCC XDL transceiver module (Optional purchasing)
Transceiver frequency: 403MHz-473MHz, frequency table can be modified by yourself.
Transmitted power can be adjusted among 0.1W, 1W and 2W.
Transmission rate: 19.2Kbps and 9.6Kbps, which are available for adjustment.
Support a variety of transmission protocols.
Cautions: Once transceiver channel of the base is modified, rover also need to be modified to
the corresponding channel, otherwise, the differential signal cannot be received. Normal operations
made only under the same channels.
6. Power on to switch to UHF rover mode
(1) Double-click power button to power on LCD and the initial interface will display the current
work mode and relevant basic information. See Fig.1.2-2.
(2) Set work mode: Single-click Fn button, it shows as follows from left to right under the RTK
mode: Data chain, difference parameter, work mode and system information.
Operation steps are shown as follows:
Single-click power button for confirmation when the steps are finished.
