Managing Power
Turning the Receiver ON/OFF
To turn on the receiver, press and hold the power button until the LEDs briefly flash. When the receiver is turned
ON, the receiver’s channels initialize and begin tracking all visible satellites at any time and location.
To turn OFF the receiver, press and hold the power button for more than three and less than 10 seconds (release
the power button when the BATT LED blinks solid red). This delay prevents the receiver from being turned OFF
by mistake.
The receiver will draw a small amount of power from the battery when it is turned off. If the receiver
is placed in storage for a long period, such as a few months, the battery may become fully
discharged. You will need to use an external power supply or recharge the battery before use.
Using Internal and External Power Sources
The receiver is powered by the internal battery or an external power source connected to the USB port. If an
external power source is connected, the receiver draws power from it in preference to the battery.
Using a standard USB cable, you can connect the receiver to an external power source with 4.5 to 5.5 VDC to
operate the receiver. See “Specifications” on page 32 .
Power input greater than 6 VDC could damage the receiver.
Internal Battery
The receiver first draws power from a connected external power source. When there is no valid external power
source connected or if the source has discharged lower than 4.5V, the receiver will draw its power from one high-
capacity internal battery (non-removable). Depending on the use case, the hours of operation provided by the
internal battery varies. See Table 8 on page 11
.
The battery is shipped from the factory with a partial charge. For maximum operating time, fully
charge the battery before using the receiver.
