The GPS receiver is powered by an internal
Lithium-ion battery, which can be detached from
the receiver for charging. The receiver can also be
connected to an external power source through
Port 1.
During measurement operations, each internal
battery typically provides about 6.6 hours of
power if using the internal RX (receive) radio and
about 4.5 hours operating as a base station using
the internal 450 MHz TX (transmit) radio. These
times vary according to the type of measurement
and the operating conditions.
