Correction source

This feature provides you the ability to explicitly select a corrections source. The “X”

If an option has an asterisk next to the text, this means that the option requires a Bad
Elf Flex token for selection.

To use Atlas L-Band corrections, you must have L-Band enabled via Bad Elf Flex token or
subscription, and you must explicitly select the L-Band option.

Using of L-Band will reduce the battery life. See specifications for more details.

• Use the up and down arrow buttons to select one of the corrections sources.
  

• Press the enter button on a selection to make it active

• Press the back button to return to the settings feature
  

Forest mode allows the Flex to accept weaker signals from satellites. This may
improve the reception of additional or weak satellites. Using this feature may
degrade your positional accuracy slightly.
