Overview 2
5700 Operation
• Internal charging of batteries (no external battery charger
required)

Use and Care
The 5700 receiver is designed to withstand the rough treatment that
typically occurs in the field. However, the receiver is a high-precision
electronic instrument and should be treated with reasonable care.
C Warning – Operating or storing the 5700 receiver outside the specified
temperature range can damage it. For more information, see Physical
specifications, page 90.
High-power signals from a nearby radio or radar transmitter can
overwhelm the receiver circuits. This does not harm the instrument,
but it can prevent the receiver electronics from functioning correctly.
Avoid using the receiver within 400 meters of powerful radar,
television, or other transmitters. Low-power transmitters such as those
used in cellphones and two-way radios normally do not interfere with
5700 receiver operations.
For more information, see the Trimble technical note Using Radio
Communication Systems with GPS Surveying Receivers.
