Trimble R7 GPS Receiver Operation
• Do not allow the batteries to discharge below 5 volts.
• 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.
48.2 Operating with the TSCe controller
If the receiver is being powered by its internal batteries, it does not supply power to the
TSCe controller when they are connected. However, the TSCe controller batteries and
the Trimble R7 GPS receiver batteries can be charged at the same time from the same
power supply. To charge both sets of batteries, use two standard power/serial data
cables to connect the TSCe controller and the receiver to a power supply, as shown in
Figure 4.3.
