trimble question

[ml]

hi

i just got a trimble pathfinder basic plus, i was hoping to find
a online manual someplace via google or trimble but no luck

anyone know where i might find one??

i have it plugged into a ext antenna one of the screans said ext ant
(seemed to switch byitself) but the coordinates don't change not
sure how long i should have waited or what might have given me an
indication that it was even seeing the birds

clock seems ok but i presume it's just running internally

the person that used it last had to be 3000mi away

thanks any help apppreciated

hi sam

not really sure the point of your post

i already stated in my post it wasn't avail via the trimble site
and i don't need to know where it's not

just looking to see if someone might ether know of a site w/the
manual or have some simple set up instructions

it was a pretty popular unit in the day, so hoping somone might have
some useful info

thanks

maybe he's pointing out that as the devise you have isn't y2k compliant,
hence should have stopped working 8 years ago, maybe that's why you can find
no info on it, and why it dosent see any birds or owt.

it may have been a popular unit in the day, but it's older than a tramps y
fronts now, that's the problem with electronic gadgets, 2 months after
buying it new, your expected to buy a newer version that's so much better
that you will throw the old one out.

thanks Gazz appreciate the responce, i was of course aware it's
old and not y2k, but my presumption, perhaps incorrect was that
while perhaps there wasn't any 'new software/updates etc' i should
still be able to find an old manual someplace

my other presumption was that i thought it would still find some
birds with existing software but i recon i that w/o being 2k
complient it won't 'do anything'

thanks
