Battery safety

The rechargeable Lithium-ion battery is supplied at 30% or less of its capacity. Charge the battery completely before using it for the first time. If the battery has been stored for longer than three months, charge it before use.

Charge and use the rechargeable Lithium-ion battery only in strict accordance with the instructions. Charging or using the battery in unauthorized equipment can cause an explosion or fire, and can result in personal injury and/or equipment damage.
To prevent injury or damage:

  • Do not charge or use the battery if it appears to be damaged or leaking.

  • Charge the Lithium-ion battery only in a Trimble product that is specified to charge it. Be sure to follow all instructions that are provided with the battery charger.

  • Discontinue charging a battery that gives off extreme heat or a burning odor.

  • Use the battery only in Trimble equipment that is specified to use it.

  • Use the battery only for its intended use and according to the instructions in the product documentation.

Do not damage the rechargeable Lithium-ion battery. A damaged battery can cause an explosion or fire, and can result in personal injury and/or property damage.
To prevent injury or damage:

  • Do not use or charge the battery if it appears to be damaged. Signs of damage include, but are not limited to, discoloration, warping, and leaking battery fluid.

  • Do not expose the battery to fire, high temperature, or direct sunlight.

  • Do not immerse the battery in water.

  • Do not use or store the battery inside a vehicle during hot weather.

  • Do not drop or puncture the battery.

  • Do not open the battery or short-circuit its contacts.

Avoid contact with the rechargeable Lithium-ion battery if it appears to be leaking. Battery fluid is corrosive, and contact with it can result in personal injury and/or property damage.
To prevent injury or damage:

  • If the battery leaks, avoid contact with the battery fluid.

  • If battery fluid gets into your eyes, immediately rinse your eyes with clean water and seek medical attention. Do not rub your eyes!

  • If battery fluid gets onto your skin or clothing, immediately use clean water to wash off the battery fluid.

Storing the Lithium-ion battery

Do not store batteries in the receiver or in the external charger for an extended period of time unless power is applied.

Keep all batteries on continuous charge when not in use for an extended period of time. You can keep batteries on charge indefinitely without damage to the batteries.

DC power supply

When DC voltage is applied to this receiver through connectors 2 or 3 (Lemo connectors), the DC voltage must be limited to no more than 28 V DC +0% under both normal and single fault conditions. If the recommended input voltage is exceeded, the receiver may present an electrical hazard.

Wet locations

This product is not intended to be used outdoors or in a wet location when it is powered by the external power supply. The connection is not waterproof and could be subject to electrical shorting.

The external power adapter and its associated power cord and plug are not intended to be installed outdoors, or in a wet location.

Do not power the receiver through external power when operating in a wet environment or an environment that may become wet. The power input connections must be sheltered.

Disposing of the rechargeable Lithium-ion battery

Discharge the Lithium-ion battery before disposing of it. When disposing of the battery, ensure that you do so in an environmentally sensitive manner. Adhere to any local and national regulations concerning battery disposal or recycling.

Power over Ethernet

When this product is connected to a Power over Ethernet connection, the source of the Ethernet power must meet IEEE 802.11af, and its DC output (Ethernet power source) must be completely isolated from earth ground (floating), or a shock hazard may exist.

When this product is connected to a PoE connection, the DC voltage must be limited to 57 V DC +0% under both normal and single fault conditions. This product may present an electrical hazard if the recommended input voltage is exceeded.

Battery charger

To protect the removable Li-ION batteries from extreme temperatures, the battery charger only operates in the following temperature range while connected to an external DC supply:

  • +5 °C to +35 °C when powered by external DC supply while actively charging the battery.

  • –40 °C to +65 °C (–40 °F to +149 °F) when connected to an external DC power supply.

If operated only with batteries and no external DC power supply, the operating temperature is:

  • –20 °C to +55 °C when powered only by the battery and no external DC supply.
