36 Using the optional serial clip GeoExplorer Series Getting Started Guide
Using external power
The serial clip lets you connect the GeoExplorer series handheld to an
external power source. Depending on the optional accessories that you
have purchased, you can use mains power, a camcorder battery, or a
vehicle’s battery to supply power to the handheld.
To connect to an external power source:
1. Attach the serial clip to the handheld.
2. Plug the appropriate cable into the power port on the serial clip.
3. Connect the other end of the cable to the external power source.
Recharging from an external power source
By default, the GeoExplorer series handheld recharges its internal battery
from any external power source that is connected. Recharging the battery
draws more power from the external source than is used to power the
handheld.
