GSR2700 IS FCC and CE Notice
This receiver complies 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 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
television 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 following measures: reorient or relocate the receiving antenna;
increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver; connect the
equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected; or consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for
help.
IMPORTANT! To maintain compliance with the limits of a Class B digital device, you
must use properly shielded interface cables (Belden #9539 or equivalent) when you use
the serial data ports, and double-shielded cables (Belden #9945 or equivalent) when
you use the I/O strobe port.
WARNING! Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by
POINT, Inc. could result in a violation of Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

Introduction
This manual provides complete information about your GSR2700
IS (integrated system) and its functions, including components,
system setup, operations, and data collection.
1.1 About the GSR2700 IS
The Sokkia GSR2700 IS is a fully integrated, high-precision GPS
solution for use in both RTK and post-processing applications. It
integrates a dual-frequency receiver, antenna, memory, batteries,
wireless connectivity, and differential correction radio into one
lightweight and rugged component.
The GSR2700 IS supports wireless connections, using Bluetooth®
wireless technology. The ability to transfer your data from the
receiver to the data collector through a wireless communication
connection provides a completely cable free option.
The GSR2700 IS offers differential correction transmission
flexibility, using either an internal UHF or GSM radio. It also
offers the innovative feature of voice messages to indicate
receiver status during field operation.
Surveyors can use the GSR2700 IS for topographic, stake out, and
control surveys. Excellent acquisition and reacquisition times
mean this receiver continues to excel in environments where
signal obstructions are present and frequent interruptions of
signals can be expected. The GSR2700 IS features a rugged design
for use in adverse environments, and is engineered to provide
years of reliable operation.
You can use the GSR2700 IS handheld component (SDR+) and
desktop post-processing software (Spectrum®Survey Suite) with
the GSR2700 IS. When used together, these components provide a
powerful, flexible, and easy-to-use GPS system.

Chapter 1 Introduction
1.4 Usage Cautions
CAUTION
• If your receiver has an internal radio, always ensure that the
radio antenna is properly connected to your receiver before
turning the unit on. Never disconnect the radio antenna
while the internal radio is still powered. Removal of the
antenna while the unit is powered may cause irreparable
damage to the internal circuitry of your radio, particularly
when the radio is transmitting information.
• This device incorporates circuitry to absorb most static
discharges. However, severe static shock may cause
inaccurate operation of the unit. Use anti-static precautions
where possible.
• This device is a precision instrument. Although it is
designed for rugged operating conditions, it performs best
when handled with care.
• When the port covers are closed, the enclosure is sealed to
provide protection against adverse environmental
conditions. To minimize the possibility of damage, always
keep the ports covered except when in use.
• The GSR2700 IS can accept an input supply voltage in the
range of +9 to +18 VDC. Do not operate the receiver
outside the specified voltage range.
• Drawing more than the specified maximum current (1 amp
combined total) from the two COM ports will cause an
internal fuse to interrupt the current to prevent damage to
the unit. If this happens, immediately reduce the load and
allow the unit to automatically reset its protection circuitry.
