SYSTEM OPERATION / 43
The system cannot differentiate between a marked and already planted
area. Therefore, when planting the marked headland, the section control
must be in manual. The field map planting area will appear in blue which is
the indication of overplanting. However, overplanting is not occurring since
the first pass was marked and no seeds were dropped.
If only the inner most headland is marked, this is the only headland that
requires the control to be in manual. All other headlands can be planted in
Auto mode.

signal cannot be found, has been lost, or the signal quality is not at
acceptable levels.
Potential causes:
• GPS setup incorrect.
