Find the monument and locate your Facet (or RTK Surveyor, Express, Express Plus, Facet L-Band, etc) over the monument. Using a tape measure or other tool, measure the distance from the top of the monument to the bottom of the Facet. In this example, it was 45 ¾” or 1162mm. Obviously, millimeters matter here but don't let 'perfection' be the enemy of 'done'.
**Note:** Starting with v3.0 of the firmware any serial menu that is shown can also be accessed over Bluetooth. This makes any configuration of a device much easier in the field. Please see [Configure With Bluetooth](configure_with_bluetooth.md) for more information.
