Online Map: If needed, an online map can be used as background image in map view. You can choose between:
• None
• WMS (Web Map Services)
Using WMS
☞ Web Map Services provide subscription-free online map data. Several services are available.
☞ Requirements:
• Internet connection is established.
• A coordinate system is loaded to the active project.
• Measured or imported data are loaded to the active project or the software is connected to an instrument.
Backup
There are two options for creating backup files of all data and settings in the
iCON software.
Automatic Backup
If automatic backup is enabled, the software generates a backup file each time
the iCON software is exited. By default, automatic backup is "On".
Automatically generated backup files can either be stored to the internal memory or to a USB flash drive. For automatic backup, maximum five backup
files can be kept. Once a newer backup file is generated on top of these existing five, the oldest backup file is deleted automatically.
Manual Backup
A backup file can be generated manually at any time.
Manually generated backup files can be stored either to the internal memory or to a USB stick. For manual backup, the number of files that can be stored depends on the available memory size of internal memory or USB stick.
☞ If necessary, insert a USB stick into the controller.

How to use screen recording
Necessary driver for screen recording
If necessary download and install the driver for screen recording (CCxx MKxComponent_screenRecording.exe) from myWorld under the relevant section for your controller.
For controllers delivered with v5.0 or higher, the necessary driver is already
installed.
☞ Before installing the driver, make sure that iCON is not running.
Screen lock configuration
☞ Only available for the 5" controller onboard TPS.
The screen of the 5" controller can be locked. Define a PIN to unlock the
screen.

Active Licences
Before installing any firmware updates check the maintenance status. The iCON software conducts a maintenance check before any update installation.
Add Licences
The iCON software offers some optional licences, that can be acquired and
activated separately based on the available iCON site/iCON build licence.
☞ For details on the available licences for iCON site and iCON build, refer to Licencing and/or ask your agency or your Leica Geosystems representative for further information about licencing.
☞ For details on the available optional licences, refer to:
Availability of Optional Licences for iCON site
Availability of Optional Licences for iCON build
A list of all optional licences can also be found in the Equipment Lists on myWorld.
Activating licenses protected by an entitlement
Licenses that are protected by an entitlement can be activated on the controller or on an instrument with a display unit by tapping System and then
Add Licences. Enter the entitlement received from your representative and
tap 
.
To update an entitlement tap the 
button that can be found in the Function bar at the bottom of the screen.
☞ An internet connection is needed to activate an entitlement.
Activating licenses protected by a license key
Some features are protected by license keys that need to be uploaded to the
instrument from an SD card or a USB flash drive.
• On TPS with display, license upload can be handled directly on the TPS instrument.
• For TPS without display, license upload has to be steered via the controller.
Below short instructions on uploading licenses using the controller are given.
☞ For further information ask your agency or your Leica Geosystems representative.
