Getting Started with the Emlid Reach RS2 | Step 1: Unboxing and Firmware update



Watch this video if you are awaiting delivery of your first Emlid Reach RS2!

Below are chapter links if you want to skip ahead. There are a heap of handy tips along with the steps you’ll need to follow in order to get your receiver ready to start work.

The 5 essential steps are:
1) Power on the charged receiver – it will create a Wi-FI network called “Reach:XX:XX”
2) Connect to that Wi-Fi network with a phone or tablet running the Reachview3 App
3) Provide the receiver with credentials for a local Wi-Fi network connected to the Internet. This will allow the receiver to download the latest firmware.
4) Reconnect to the RS2 receiver from your device via the same local Wi-Fi network.
5) Name the receiver and complete the setup process including any firmware updates.
