connect the ANCD to the RT, and press [LOAD] on the RT keypad.

Sync time must be loaded manually if other than RT- 1523A/B/C/D/E is

Primary Operator Task 3, "Perform Hot Start Net Opening," for detailed

procedures.)

If possible, check ANCD sync time against PLGR GPS time. If it has been more than 24

hours since GPS time was loaded into the ANCD, time difference may exceed +/- 4 seconds. In

the worst case, load ANCD time and use passive late net entry.
