Press and hold the power button for about 10 seconds and pass over the state of power off and
mode selection (do not release the button even if the instrument says “power off”and “start to set
work mode”), then V2 will say “start to self-check”, at this moment, release the power button, the
instrument will perform self-check automatically for the modules one by one.
The sequence of modules checking is:
¾OEM board checking
¾UHF module checking
¾Sensors checking
¾WiFi module checking
¾Bluetooth module checking
¾EPPROM checking
If all the modules are normal during self-check, the instrument will get into the state of power-on.

button, all the indicators glow and the instrument will perform the factory reset automatically.
After this progress is complete, the instrument will restart with the factory default settings.
§2.4 AR Stakeout
Notice: AR stakeout need to work with a data controller, and it requires the software SurvStar.
AR stakeout is the innovative function of V2. To use this function, you need to have:
9Insight V2
9a data controller (with a SIM card available)
9a pole
9SurvStar software
First, run SurvStar and select Point Stakeout. Choose the point you want to stakeout.
