GSR2600 FCC and CE Notice
The equipment described in this manual has been tested and found to comply
with the radiated and conducted emission limits for a Class B digital device, for
both CISPR 22 and Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or televi-
sion reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the follow-
ing measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver
• Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help
 Important! To maintain compliance with the limits of a Class B digital
device, it is required to use properly shielded interface cables (such as Belden
#9539 or equivalent) when using the serial data ports, and double-shielded
cables (such as Belden #9945 or equivalent) when using the I/O strobe port.

Chapter 1 Introduction
Welcome! The GSR2600 Operations Manual provides you
with complete information about your Sokkia GSR2600
GPS receiver and its functions.
The GSR2600 is a high-performance GPS receiver for use in
both RTK and post-processing applications. This receiver is
capable of receiving and tracking up to 12 GPS satellites on
L1 and L2 channels, has fast data update rates, and
integrates memory (Compact Flash Card) for data logging.
The GSR2600 is ready for the most demanding applications
– such as surveying, high precision surveying, roading,
mining, and construction stakeout. It is engineered to
provide years of reliable operation.
Don’t worry if you have to collect data where signal
obstructions are present and frequent interruption of
signals are expected, the excellent acquisition and
re-acquisition times of the GSR2600 enables this receiver to
operate in those environments. As well, the GSR2600
features a rugged, reliable design for use in adverse
conditions.
Once you connect the GSR2600 receiver to an antenna and
power supply, and press the receiver power button, the
GSR2600 begins operating as a fully functional GPS
receiver.
Optionally, a handheld data collector can be used with the
GSR2600 to aid in data collection. When used together, the
GSR2600 receiver and the handheld provide powerful
state-of-the-art technology, and an intuitive, easy-to-use
GPS system.
