To use Diagnostics for Harvest issues:

Step 1. Select Menu.

Step 2. Select GreenStar.

Step 3. Select Diagnostics.

Step 4. Select Recording.

Step 5. Verify the following settings:

Field defined: yes/no

Task defined: yes/no

Operations properly defined: Harvest: yes/no, N/A: —-

Recording space available: yes/no

GPS available: yes/no

Vehicle moving at minimum speed: yes/no

If all values show “yes” and recording still will not start, contact your John Deere dealer.

Step 6. Troubleshooting:

If Field defined or Task defined is “no,” refer to “Resources” section for correct setup information.

If “Harvest” under Operations properly defined is “no,” the display may indicate:

Mounted on a machine other than a John Deere harvest machine, such as cotton picker, combine, or SPFH. In this case, “Harvest” cannot be documented.

Set up incorrectly. To set up operation, refer to the Harvest Combine section.

If an operation is defined in addition to “Harvest,” recording will not start. To solve this issue, use the following steps:

a. Menu

b. GreenStar

c. Documentation

d. Operation tab

e. Remove

If Recording space available: no, copy data to a USB drive and delete documentation data of the display.

If GPS available: no, check connection to StarFire receiver and ensure it has clear view of sky. If this does not help, contact your John Deere dealer.

If Vehicle moving at minimum speed: no, accelerate machine until it is moving at minimum speed. For most applications, the minimum speed is 0.5 km/h (0.3 mph).

Selected recording source state: inactive and Documentation and coverage: inactive are inactive if coverage map is not painting. As soon as coverage map is painting, both of them are active.

Recording source: Auto. This is the recording source selected under “Equipment” in the GreenStar menu.

To use Diagnostics for Non-Harvest issues:

Step 1. Select Menu.

Step 2. Select GreenStar.

Step 3. Select Diagnostics.

Step 4. Select Recording.

Step 5. Verify the following settings:

Tillage: yes/no

N/A: —-

Recording space available: yes/no

GPS available: yes/no

Vehicle moving at minimum speed: yes/no

If any of the values show “no” or recording source is not correct, continue to step 6.

If all values show “yes” and recording still will not start, contact your John Deere dealer.

Step 6. Troubleshooting:

If Field defined or Task defined is “no,” refer to “Resources” section in this user guide for more correct setup information.

If there is a “no” for an operation under Operations properly defined, the operation is not set up completely. Refer to “Operation-[specific operation to be performed]” section of this user guide to set up the operation correctly.

If Recording space available: no, copy data to a USB drive and delete documentation data of the display.

If GPS available: no, check connection to the StarFire receiver. Ensure clear view of sky or contact your John Deere dealer.

If Vehicle moving at minimum speed: no, accelerate machine until it moves at minimum speed. For most applications, the minimum speed is 0.5 km/h (0.3 mph).

Selected recording source state: inactive.

Documentation and coverage: inactive. “Documentation and Coverage” shows current recording state. “Inactive” means coverage map is not painting and recording is “off.”

Recording source: —-. This is the recording source selected under “Equipment” in the GreenStar menu.
