Managing Power
An optimal charging temperature is between 50
o
F (10
o
C) and 77
o
F (25
o
C). If
possible, charge the battery within this temperature range.
Surveying While Charging
The receiver can perform any kind of surveying while charging the internal battery without degrading
performance.
Using an External Power Source
You can connect the receiver to an external power source (such as a vehicle battery with 9 – 27 VDC)
to operate the receiver.
To connect the receiver to an external battery:
1. Use the ODU-to-alligator clips cable (P/N 14-008097-01LF) to directly connect the external
battery and the receiver’s power port (without SAE).
2. Connect the ODU-to-alligator clips cable to a 12-volt battery.
3. Connect the ODU-to-alligator clips cable to the receiver’s power port.
4. Turn on the receiver.
Insufficient Power
If the battery become fully discharged and an external power supply is not connected, the receiver
will shut down and automatically save recorded files. To avoid disruptions, check the BAT LED on the
display panel for the battery charge status. See,
“Battery LED” for more information. If the receiver
shuts down due to insufficient power, the receiver and all communication ports become deactivated.

The charge terminates automatically if battery temperature rises above 113
o
F
(45
o
C) or falls below 32
o
F (0
o
C).
While charging, make sure that the air temperature is between 32
o
F (0
o
C) and
113
o
F (45
o
C). This is important to prevent serious damage to the battery and the
receiver, or injury to persons.
Power input greater than 27 VDC could damage the receiver.
