36 GeoExplorer 2005 Series Getting Started Guide
To charge the internal battery using the support module:
1. Use the AC power adaptor to connect the
support module to mains power.
2. Place the handheld in the support
module.
3. Leave for up to eight hours to recharge.
Note – The Power settings screen always shows 100% power for the
backup battery. The handheld does not have a backup battery installed.
Using the support module with the AC power adaptor recharges the
internal battery. In the office, leave the GeoExplorer 2005 series
handheld in the support module to conserve the battery.
If you are not going to use the handheld for some time, either keep
the handheld connected to mains power to continually charge it, or
fully charge the handheld and switch it off. See Storage, page 77.
Using external power
Use the optional serial clip
to connect the GeoExplorer
2005 series handheld to an
external power source.
Depending on the optional
accessories that you have
purchased, you can use
mains power, the external
power kit, or a vehicle’s
battery to supply power to
the handheld.
To connect to an external power source:
1. Attach the serial clip (P/N 53550-00) to the handheld.
2. Plug the appropriate cable into the power port on the serial clip.
