If the battery has low charge
Caution: We recommend you use an alternative power source when the battery charge is low to avoid
losing survey data. A low battery may also cause the power to cycle repeatedly.
The current battery charge is always shown on screen. For example, see the home screen on
page 34
You also can check the battery level at any time by pressing the
Battery check
button (
page 30
).
If the battery charge is low, you can:
Adjust the Power Management settings. For example, you can set timeouts to automatically dim the screen
or power off the pushrod after a period of inactivity. See
page 124
Adjust key settings to reduce battery usage. For example, if screen brightness is set to maximum and WiFi
is permanently enabled, the battery will drain faster
Connect the supplied battery charger (or optional vehicle charge lead); see
page 90
