Getting Started 2
The Power control appears, displaying the Battery tab.
When the handheld battery is recharging from an
external power source, the battery icon in the Home
screen changes to . You can still tap the icon to view
the level of battery power.
To check the level of battery power remaining on a spare
battery or one that is not inside the handheld, press the
battery icon on the battery pack label. The level of
charge indicator will light up with the approximate level
of battery power remaining on the battery. Each LED
represents a 20% increment in battery capacity.
Low battery indicators
When the battery level reaches:
• 15%, the battery icon in the title bar of the Home screen changes to .
• 10%, the Power LED on the handheld flashes red and the Main battery low
message appears on the handheld.
• 5%, the Main battery very low message appears on the handheld.
Trimble recommends that you recharge the battery when any of these indicators
appear.
Swapping the battery
If the battery runs low while you are working, you can swap the battery without the
need to close files and shut down the handheld, and can resume working straight away.
1. Save any open files.
2. Ensure that you have a spare battery close by with sufficient charge to keep
working (see Checking the level of battery power, page 28).
3. Turn off the handheld or put the handheld in Swap Battery mode (see page 32).

CAUTION – In Swap Battery mode, the battery LED shows as a red warning. When the
device is ready, the red LED turns off, and the battery can be safely swapped. Generally
the red LED will only display for half a second or less, but it may display for three seconds
or so. Do not remove the existing battery until the red LED turns off. Removing the
battery when the red LED warning light is still on will make the device reboot when the
battery is swapped. Do not remove the existing battery until the red LED turns off.
