Charging the SPS585 Smart Antenna

The rechargeable Lithium-ion batteries are supplied partially charged. Charge the battery completely for 12 hours before using the device for the first time. If the SPS585 GNSS Smart Antenna has been stored for longer than three months, charge it before use.

The charge time is 3 hours when the product is running or turned off. For the best charging performance, use the Trimble provided cable and charger. The internal battery charger stops charging when the internal temperature of the receiver is greater than 50 °C (122 °F) or less than 5 °C (41 °F).

Charge and use the rechargeable Lithium-ion battery only in strict accordance with the instructions.

To prevent injury or damage:

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

  • Never attempt to remove, replace, or repair the battery yourself.

  • If the battery requires attention, send the receiver to an authorized Trimble Service Center.
