Table 1: SMART-MR10 LED Behaviour

Red	Yellow		Green
						Condition
Off		Off		Off	Power is not available. (Red indicator may also
					not be lit if a boot failure has occurred.
On		Off		Off	Power available but no satellites are being
					tracked
On	Flashinga			Off	Tracking at least one satellite but not a valid
					position
On		On		Off	Position valid in basic autonomous mode
On		On	Flashing		SBAS tracking, but not enough data for
					enhanced solution.
On		On		On	Position valid in an enhanced accuracy modeb
					(WAAS/EGNOS/MSAS/DGPS, OmniSTAR
					VBS/XP/HP, or RTK)
On	Flashing		Flashing		Fixed position with bad integrity

a.Flashing means that the LED is turning on and off at a 1 Hz rate - 0.5 seconds on and 0.5 seconds off.

b.When acting as a reference receiver, all lights on solid indicates a good fixed posi- tion.
