What do the lights indicate on my SitePoint rover and base?

The indicator lights on your SitePoint device show the current operating mode (rover or base) and the connection status. In rover mode, the flashing pattern indicates whether the rover is connected to the base and whether it is in fix. In base mode, the flashing pattern indicates whether the base is acquiring its location or actively broadcasting.

Both rover and base will flash green lights upon start-up sequence.

Rover Mode Lights

• Steady white: the unit is in rover mode but is not connected to a device

• Fast flashing white (4 times per second): the unit is in rover mode, is connected to a device, but is not in fix

• Slow flashing white (1 time per second): the unit is in rover mode, is connected to a device, and is in fix

Base Mode Lights

Note: to enter base mode, turn on the SitePoint (1 press) then double press the power button

• Fast flashing purple (4 times per second): the device is in base mode, is acquiring its position, but is not yet broadcasting corrections to the rover

• Slow flashing purple (1 time per second): The device is in base mode and is actively broadcasting corrections to the rover.

Pro Tip

• To exit base mode, turn the SitePoint off by pressing the power button once

• If you press the power button twice while already in base mode (purple lights), the unit will begin acquiring its location again.
