    Start from scratch, the icons

    Besides reading our ‘ How do I set-up the UNI-GR1 for the first time?‘ article, knowing what every icon in UNI-Connect represents, will help you tremendously. You’ll memorize the steps and improve on speed, repeat settings for a new point, or quickly check for a fix. As you see in the picture below, we have numbered each icon in UNI-Connect. Scroll a bit down to see what they represent.

    1. This is the name of your project.
