4. Remove the old battery by pinching
the battery latches together until
the battery is ejected. Slide the
battery out.
C
CAUTION – The handheld is not sealed from water and dust when the battery is removed.
Trimble recommends only removing the battery for short periods of time and only
removing the battery indoors or from inside the protection of a vehicle.
5. Insert the new battery (see Inserting the battery, page 27).
C
CAUTION – The handheld has enough power to keep the device running for
approximately 30 seconds with the battery removed. If the power drains before the
battery is restored the device will shut down. Trimble recommends saving open files
before swapping the battery.
6. Press the Power key to resume your session.
Conserving power
Although the handheld battery can operate for a full day without recharging, Trimble
recommends that you do the following to reduce power consumption:
• Set the handheld to automatically turn off when idle. For more information, see
Suspend mode, page 31.
• Set the backlight to automatically turn off when the handheld is idle for a
specified time. For more information, see Backlight, page 51.
• Turn off the integrated Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and wireless cellular modem radios
whenever you are not using them. For more information, see Turning on and
turning off the integrated radios, page 80.
• Disconnect from the integrated GNSS receiver when GNSS data is not required,
using the application’s Disconnect or Deactivate GNSS command. When you
disconnect from GNSS, the integrated GNSS receiver switches off and stops
drawing power.
Note – Do not disconnect from GNSS if you will be reconnecting within about five minutes.
A GNSS application can take up to 30 seconds to reactivate the integrated GNSS receiver,
so disconnecting to save power can cost time.
