34 Using the optional serial clip GeoExplorer Series Getting Started Guide
Using the optional serial clip
The optional serial clip attaches to the communication swipes on the back
of the handheld. When the serial clip is attached, it adds a serial port
(COM1) to the GeoExplorer series handheld.
You can use the serial clip to:
• supply external power from a camcorder battery or a vehicle’s battery
(see page 36)
• recharge the internal battery from an external power source (see
page 36)
• connect to a computer to transfer data, back up the Disk, or install
software (see page 35)
• receive differential corrections from an external real-time correction
source, such as a Beacon-on-a-Belt receiver or DGPS radio
• receive GPS data from a Trimble GPS Pathfinder receiver
• connect to an external modem or mobile phone for wireless Internet
access
• connect to other external devices, such as a laser rangefinder
Attaching the serial clip
The serial clip must be screwed onto the handheld. When the serial clip is
attached, you cannot place the handheld in the support module.
To attach the serial clip to the GeoExplorer series handheld:
1. Line up the communication swipes on the handheld with the pins on
the serial clip.
2. Lower the handheld onto the serial clip.
3. Use the screws supplied with the serial clip to secure it to the
handheld.
