Powering the handheld
The GeoExplorer 6000 series handheld contains a removable rechargeable Lithium-ion
battery.
Note – Charge the battery completely before using the handheld for the first time. If the
battery has been stored for longer than six months, charge it before use. Trimble
recommends charging the battery for five hours to recharge it fully.
When fully charged, the handheld battery provides enough power for a full working
day (10 hours) using the internal GNSS antenna and with the backlight on at the
default settings.
Note – Cold temperatures, or using Bluetooth wireless technology, Wi-Fi, or the wireless
cellular modem consumes additional battery power and so shortens battery life between
charges.
