    Release Notice
    This is the January 2012 release (Revision A) of the GPS
    Pathfinder Pro series receivers Release Notes. It applies to
    version 2.04 of the GPS firmware.
    Introduction
    These release notes provide information about the GPS firmware
    version 2.04 for the Trimble® GPS Pathfinder® Pro series receivers.
    Please read these release notes carefully.
    The GPS Pathfinder Pro series includes the ProXH™ and ProXT™
    receivers. The GPS Pathfinder Pro series receivers are high-performance
    GPS receivers. They have an integrated antenna and receiver, a user-
    removable battery, and Bluetooth® wireless technology for connectivity
    with field computers.
    Trimble recommends that you upgrade all GPS Pathfinder Pro series
    receivers that currently have GPS firmware version 2.03 to firmware
    version 2.04.
    There is no requirement for users with GPS Pathfinder Pro receivers
    with firmware version 1.82 to upgrade to 2.04.
    If you are not sure what firmware version is currently installed,
    upgrading to version 2.04 will not damage your receiver.

    GPS firmware version 2.04


    This section describes the version 2.04 GPS firmware, and how to
    upgrade your GPS Pathfinder ProXH or ProXT receiver.
    The GPS firmware version 2.04 resolves an issue that affects the
    Bluetooth® wireless technology function on some ProXT and ProXH
    receivers shipped since November 2011. This issue is specific to units
    with firmware version 2.03; if you turn off the Bluetooth radio, you may
    not be able to turn it back on.

    Upgrading to the GPS firmware version 2.04


    This section describes how to upgrade to the version 2.04 firmware on
    your GPS Pathfinder Pro series receiver.

    Known Issues
    This section provides information about known issues with the

    receivers.

    Battery
    • It is possible to damage the connectors on the ProXH or ProXT
    receiver’s battery pack by removing the battery while a cable is
    connected to the serial port connector.
    Trimble recommends that you detach the cable before removing
    the receiver’s battery.

    Real-time sources
    • Integrated SBAS selected as second real-time choice.
    If you have Integrated SBAS configured as the second choice in
    the Real-Time Settings form of your Trimble GPS field software
    and the SBAS status is Waiting, the GPS receiver may incorrectly
    change the status of the preferred real-time correction source to
    Waiting as well. To avoid this issue, select Wait for realtime or Use
    uncorrected GPS as your second choice.
    If you use a ProXH or ProXT receiver to output NMEA data, and
    have Use Uncorrected GPS selected in the Real-Time Settings form,
    the NMEA output will become corrupted if you connect a real-
    time correction source. To avoid corrupted NMEA data, change
    your real-time settings to use corrected GPS positions before
    connecting the real-time correction source.
    If you use a ProXH or ProXT receiver to output NMEA data and
    have set the least preferred real-time choice to the Wait for real-
    time option, the ProXH or ProXT receiver will output
    autonomous NMEA positions when no real-time corrections are
    available. You can configure your datalogging application to filter
    out these non-DGPS positions.

    Documentation information

    Pathfinder Pro Series CD. To view the user guide, select the appropriate
