Changing the Batteries while Surveying
Itissafetochangeadepletedbatterywithafullychargedonewhilesurveying(i.e.,onthefly)withoutturningoffthe
receiver.Beforedoingthis,makesurethe otherbatteryhasenoughchargetopowerthereceiverwhilechangingthe
depletedbattery.Thesurveyingwillnotbedisrupted.If
n
eeded,repeatthisprocedureforthesecondbattery.
Using an Auxiliary Power Source
Inadditiontothedetachablebatteries,youcanconnectthe receivertoanexternalpowersource,suchasavehiclebattery
with9to21VDC,tooperatethereceiverandforcontinuoususeofthereceiverifthedetachablebatteriesbecome
discharged.
Toconnectthereceivertoan auxiliarybattery
(Figure 16onpage 4Ͳ42):
UsetheODUͲtoͲalligatorclipscable(p/n14Ͳ008097Ͳ01LF)todire ctlyconnecttheauxiliarybatteryandthereceiver’s
powerport(withoutSAE).
1. ConnecttheODUͲtoͲalligatorclipscabletoa12Ͳvoltbattery.
2. ConnecttheODUͲtoͲalligatorclipscabletothereceiver’spowerport.
Powerinputgreaterthan21VDCcoulddamagethereceiver.
Whenpoweringthereceiverusingexternalbatteries,setthechargermodetoOff;otherwise,the
detachablebatterieswillalsocharge,causingoperationtimetodecrease.
