5.3 Storage
The VR100’s battery slowly discharges even when not in use and eventually will become fully discharged
during long-term storage, which may harm the battery. If the VR100 is to be stored for an extended time, then
protect the battery by following the suggestions listed below.
1. Fully charge the battery before placing the VR100 in storage
2. Re-charge the battery every 3-4 months
Recommendations for maximizing the battery’s service
life are found in section 6.3.2.
Make sure you also clean and dry your VR100 receiver
after every use and store it in a dry location at room
temperature.
Maintaining your gear regularly and testing the receivers at least three weeks before planned field work will
help you get the most out of your field work experience.
The VR100 battery fully
charges in 14 hours at room
temperature.
WARNING
Ensure the battery is charged every
three to four months during storage. If
not, the battery can become fully depleted
and permanently damaged (section
6.3).
