4.2 Working with the Battery
•
The battery must be charged prior to using it for the first time because it is delivered with
an energy content as low as possible.
•
The permissible temperature range for charging is between 0°C to +40°C/+32°F to
+104°F. For optimal charging we recommend charging the batteries at a low ambient tem-
perature of +10°C to +20°C/+50°F to +68°F if possible.
•
It is normal for the battery to become warm during charging. Using the chargers recom-
mended by GeoMax, it is not possible to charge the battery if the temperature is too high.
•
For new batteries or batteries that have been stored for a long time (> three months), it is
effectual to make only one charge/discharge cycle.
•
For Li-Ion batteries, a single discharging and charging cycle is sufficient. We recommend
carrying out the process when the battery capacity indicated on the charger or on a
GeoMax product deviates significantly form the actual battery capacity available.
•
The batteries can be operated from −20 °C to +55 °C/−4 °F to +131 °F.
•
Low operating temperatures reduce the capacity that can be drawn; high operating temper-
atures reduce the service life of the battery.

4.3 Data Storage
An internal memory is included in all instruments. The firmware stores all data in jobs in a data-
base in the internal memory. Data can then be transferred to a computer.
For Zoom25/Zoom50 instruments, data can also be transferred from the internal memory to a
computer or other device via a Bluetooth connection.
Refer to "12 Data Management" for further information on data management and data transfer.
