WARNING – Charge and use the rechargeable Lithium-ion battery only in strict
accordance with the instructions. Charging or using the battery in unauthorized
equipment can cause an explosion or fire, and can result in personal injury and/or
equipment damage.
To prevent injury or damage:
– Do not charge or use the battery if it appears to be damaged or leaking.
– Charge the Lithium-ion battery only in a Trimble product that is specified to charge it.
Be sure to follow all instructions that are provided with the battery charger.
– Discontinue charging a battery that gives off extreme heat or a burning odor.
– Use the battery only in Trimble equipment that is specified to use it.
– Use the battery only for its intended use and according to the instructions in the product
documentation.
Charging the Lithium-ion battery
The rechargeable Lithium-ion battery is supplied partially charged. Charge the battery
completely before using it for the first time. If the battery has been stored for longer
than six months, charge it before use.
To protect the battery from deep discharge (5 V or less), the receiver is designed to
switch batteries or cease drawing power when the battery pack discharges to 5.9 V.
A battery that has reached the deep discharge level cannot be recharged and must be
replaced. The following recommendations provide optimal performance and extend
the life of your batteries:
• Fully charge all new batteries prior to use.
• Do not allow the batteries to discharge below 5 V.
• Keep all batteries on continuous charge when not in use. Batteries may be kept
on charge indefinitely without damage to the receiver or batteries.
• Do not store batteries in the receiver or external charger unless power is applied.
• If you must store the batteries, fully charge them before storing and then
recharge them at least every three months.
Disposing of the rechargeable Lithium-ion battery
Discharge the Lithium-ion battery before disposing of it. When disposing of the
battery, be sure to do so in an environmentally sensitive manner. Adhere to any local
and national regulations concerning battery disposal or recycling.
