1. 1

   Verify Firmware Versions: Check the software version on the Pro 700 / Pro 1200 display and the firmware on the CGR receiver. Outdated firmware (e.g., older than v28 for the display or v3 for the receiver) can cause unlock codes to be rejected.

2. 2

   Verify Activation Code: Ensure the activation code entered exactly matches the code provided by CNH/Trimble for that specific receiver's serial number.

3. 3

   Check Frequency and Baud Rate: Verify that the receiver is configured to match the correct signal frequency and baud rate for your region's RTX/RTK satellite (e.g., Central North America RTX CN: 1557.8150 MHz at 2400 baud).
