Surveying While Charging
The user can execute any kind of surveying while charging the internal batteries attached to the Sokkia Atlas
without degradation of performance.
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 needed, repeat this procedure for the
second battery.
While charging, make sure the air temperature is b32
o
F (0
o
C) and +113
o
F (+45
o
C). This
is important to prevent serious damage to the batteries, the receiver or injury to persons.
