UNI-GR1 First Time Set-Up

First-time setup

You have just received your brand-new UNI-GR1! Congratulations. Setting up your receiver by yourself might seem challenging, but it is not. We gladly offer you a helping hand. We do that with this First-time setup web page, and with our ‘How do I set-up the UNI-GR1 for the first time?‘ article.

On this page, you’ll find a complete tutorial where our colleague Tommy helps you set-up and survey easily. We have added some articles from our comprehensive knowledge base to help you further and if you do have any (other) questions left, feel free to send your question to UNI-Support by filling in the ticket form at the bottom of this page.

Answers to frequently asked questions

We understand that you might have some questions. Maybe during the setup, maybe while you actually work with our UNI. In order to help you best, here are 3 of the most asked questions. Checking out these articles saves time since you do not have to call us and are able to start working immediately.

See our knowledge base for more questions and answers.

Start from scratch, the icons

Besides reading our ‘ How do I set-up the UNI-GR1 for the first time?‘ article, knowing what every icon in UNI-Connect represents, will help you tremendously. You’ll memorize the steps and improve on speed, repeat settings for a new point, or quickly check for a fix. As you see in the picture below, we have numbered each icon in UNI-Connect. Scroll a bit down to see what they represent.
