WARNING – Operating or storing the receiver outside the specified temperature range
can damage it. For more information, see Chapter 17, Specifications.
High-power signals from a nearby radio or radar transmitter can overwhelm the
receiver circuits. This does not harm the instrument, but it can prevent the receiver
electronics from functioning correctly. Avoid using the receiver within 400 meters of
powerful radar, television, or other transmitters. Low-power transmitters such as those
used in cellphones and two-way radios normally do not interfere with receiver
operations.
For more information, contact your local Trimble distributor.
