First Setup
Intro In this tutorial, we will walk you through the following steps:
- Install the ReachView 3 App
- Connect and place the GNSS antenna
- Power Reach
- Connect to Reach
-
Perform firmware update To do that, you will need Reach itself, an external GNSS antenna, a Wi-Fi network with Internet access and a smartphone.
- install ReachView 3 To manage Reach, we recommend using ReachView 3. Get it from the App Store or Google Play before updating.
Power up Reach
To power up your Reach, follow the steps below:
- Take Micro-USB <–> USB cable that comes with the package.
- Plug Micro-USB end of the cable into Micro-USB port on Reach and plug another end into 5V power source such as USB power bank, USB wall adapter or USB port of a computer.
After the device is powered up, the blue LED will be blinking for about 30 seconds and then becomes solid. Reach is now broadcasting Wi-Fi.
Connect to Reach
USING REACH WITH ANDROID DEVICE Turn off the mobile data on your device before connecting to Reach’s hotspot. </div>
To connect to your Reach, follow the steps below:
Open a list of Wi-Fi networks on your smartphone. Connect to a network named reach:xx:xx. Type network password: emlidreach. Once you successfully connected to Reach’s hotspot, you can go to ReachView 3 and set up connection to your Wi-Fi network.
Set up Wi-Fi connection
To connect Reach to your Wi-Fi network, follow the steps below:
Open ReachView 3 and choose your Reach from the list.
Tap on Set up Reach to open Updater for the further setup process.
On Updater page, tap the Plus button in the Wi-Fi section.
Enter your Wi-Fi network name, security type, and password.
Tap the Connect button. Reach will stop broadcasting Wi-Fi and connect to your network. The blue LED will blink rapidly while scanning for networks. Once Reach connects to Wi-Fi, the LED will start blinking slowly
When the connection of Reach with the Wi-Fi network is established, you can connect to your unit using ReachView 3:
Connect your smartphone or tablet to the same Wi-Fi network. Open the ReachView 3 app. Choose your unit from the list of available devices.
If your device did not connect to a Wi-Fi network, it will switch back to hotspot mode. In that case, repeat the steps and double check your network name and password. </div>

Tap on Set up Reach to open the Updater page. Wait until it checks for the latest update. If there is an update available, press the Update Reach button and wait.
