      3. Once the firmware has been updated, choose if you would like to use PPP GNSS or a Cellular RTK network for your correction source. This article from #2 will assist in the PPP GNSS setup process. Cellular RTK can be set up in the same menu. 

      4. The system will begin connecting to satellites once a correction source has been selected. The RTK state must say “Fixed” to begin calibration. This step will require 10-15 minutes for proper connection. Click Here for detailed instructions on reaching a “Fixed” RTK State

      5. IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE!
        In the Settings tab, go to Advanced Calibration > Manual Steering Override Calibration.      
        Turn this ON and set sensitivity to the desired level (Level 1-2 recommended). This is a safety feature that allows you to override Autosteering at any time by turning the wheel manually.

      6. Go to the settings tab. Complete “Quick Calibration.” 
        It is helpful to have two people for this step to ensure accurate measurements. Maintaining accuracy in your measurements is vital for proper system operation!
