Antenna LED Indicators
Three LED-indicators are mounted beneath
the antenna product label.
DATA: Continuous flashing light indicates the unit is working properly and ready for data
collection. Irregular flashing on this LED means erroneous antenna configuration or possible
software version issue. The LED switches to continuous illumination when the unit enters data
collection.
GPS: Flashing light mean that the GPS option is installed and that the internal computers are
successfully communicating with the GPS-unit. This LED switches to continuous light whenever
there’s 4 or more satellites available.
INFO: This LED indicates a serious system error, whenever active. Please contact your local
Guideline Geo representative.
Antenna Battery Maintenance and Charging
A 12V/8.7Ah Li-ion battery pack is shipped
with the MALÅ GX HDR Antenna and is the
recommended power source for the antenna.
Under normal operating and handling
conditions, this battery is capable of up to 5
hours of continuous operation.
MALÅ GX HDR antenna will automatically turn itself off when the battery voltage drops below
10V. A meter showing the remaining battery capacity is displayed on the Controller.
Tip:
If storing the battery for long periods of time, discharge the battery to approximately 50%, this
will maximise the life of the battery. Use the battery level indicator on the Controller to estimate
50%, wait until the indicator enters the yellow section, power down and remove the battery. This
also applies to the internal battery in the Controller.
