next section and go directly to Adjusting Backlight Level and Idle Time on page 4. Using the AC Adapter to Charge the Battery • If it less, Spectra Precision recommends you first charge the battery as explained in Using the AC Adapter to Charge the Battery on page 3. Follow the instructions below. • Prepare the AC adapter: – Remove the protective cover [1] by pushing the button – Choose the plug that fits your country’s AC outlet standard (see [2]) and slide it into the AC adapter [3].
[4] [5] [3] [4] [4] • Connect the AC adapter to an electric outlet. After about 4 seconds, the receiver screen lights up. An icon shows up indicating that the battery is being charged. The screen is then turned back off after about 10 seconds. After this time, battery charging will continue at the same rate until the battery is fully charged (charging time: 4 hours max.).
Switching the Receiver Manually to Suspend Mode Switching the receiver to Suspend mode is the right thing to do when you need to make a short pause in your work and you want to save the operating time of your battery. You should not however switch the receiver to Suspend mode when it is collecting raw data. In Suspend mode, the receiver is idle, using the minimum of energy required to save the use context. To switch to Suspend mode, just press briefly on the Power button [1].
Backlight Idle Time: One way of saving the battery is to avoid those periods of time during which the screen backlight is unnecessarily on. As the receiver automatically counts the time during which neither the keypad nor the touch screen is active, you can set the receiver to turn off the backlight automatically after a certain idle time. Follow the instructions below to set these two parameters: • Press the Windows key and tap successively on Settings, System and Backlight. • Tap on the Battery Power tab.
a long period of time and you know the keyboard will be left idle during this time. • Press the Windows key and tap successively on Settings,and Clock & Alarms. • On the Time tab, select your time zone and then enter the local date and time. • Tap OK to save your settings. Regional Settings It’s a good idea to customize your receiver so that it complies with a number of local preferences, such as country’s currency, decimal point representation, time and date formats, etc.
How to Hold the Receiver Tracking satellites with your receiver requires that you use the receiver outdoor and hold it in an appropriate manner. The receiver will have the best view of the sky when you hold it at an angle of around 45 degrees from horizontal and not too close to your body. You can check that your receiver is tracking enough satellites by running the GNSS Toolbox, and more particularly the GNSS Status function (see GNSS Status on page 11).
Receiver Description Front View Power Key Use the Power key [1] to turn on or off the receiver. To turn on the receiver, press the Power key [1] until you can feel a vibration in your hand, meaning the receiver has started a power‐on procedure. You can then release the key. To turn off the receiver press the Power key [1] until a sound is heard and a warning message pops up on the screen asking you to confirm the power shutdown request. Tap Yes on the screen.
Each of them is a convenient alternative to tapping on the functions appearing just above in the task bar at the bottom of the screen (e.g. Notifications, Contacts, Menu, Log, etc.). In Spectra Precision applications with a map screen displayed, use this button to zoom in. In Windows Embedded, displays the Start menu. In Spectra Precision applications with a map screen displayed, use this button to zoom out. In Windows Embedded, displays the Phone screen.
Hand strap The hand strap provided may be attached to the back of the receiver through two threaded holes [13] and [14] and the two recesses located at the bottom of the receiver (see Bottom View below). The hand strap may also accommodate the stylus, which can also be attached to the leather strip of the hand strap using the lanyard provided. Battery Compartment battery directions The receiver makes use of a rechargeable Li‐Ion battery pack.
GNSS Toolbox GNSS Toolbox is used to control and monitor important functions in your receiver. These are listed and detailed below. • GNSS Settings : Constellations and frequencies used in the receiver. • GNSS Status : Views GNSS reception monitoring screens. • Reset: Resets the receiver. • About : Provides the software version of GNSS Toolbox. GNSS Settings • Open the GNSS Toolbox and tap on GNSS Settings.
The default Position tab shows the latitude, longitude and altitude of the current position, as computed by the receiver, as well the number of satellites used and the current PDOP value. If SBAS is used, the screen also shows the position status ( SDGPS ). The unit used to express the current altitude (meters or feet) depends on the region (language and country) you selected in Start, Settings, System, Regional Settings.
Advanced Features Power Modes The receiver has three power modes: • Shutdown: The receiver is off. • On: The receiver is fully powered • Suspend: In this mode, the screen content and backlight are turned off to save power and the use context is saved. When quitting the Suspend mode, the use context is restored instantly. Typically this mode is used in the field to allow a quick restart after a pause.
