Click on the M icon and click on About.

Write down the serial number and device ID (the device ID is case sensitive).

Click the Home icon and the orange X to close MAGNET Field.

Click on Install to this PC.

Select your language, and click Next.

Select Change.

Then click Next.

Have the customer accept the license agreement.

Click Next.

Click on the + icon to expand the geoids list. Select the geoids necessary. If the controller is not connected to the internet, you will not be able to download these additional features.

Select the projections and datums you want installed.

Select additional languages as applicable.

Click Install.

Wait for the MAGNET Field install to progress. The download time will depend on your internet speed.

Make sure the Launch MAGNET Field box is checked.

Click Finish to complete the install. This will automatically start up MAGNET Field.
