Powering the
GSR2700 ISX
This chapter describes how to power your GSR2700 ISX.
NOTE Before using the GSR2700 ISX for the first time, ensure that
you have followed the setup instructions in Chapter 5, System
Setup , page 37.
6.1 Turning the System On and Off
While the GSR2700 ISX’s power button is used primarily to
switch the receiver on or off, the receiver will also automatically
turn on if it detects activity on either of the communication ports.
If you turn off the GSR2700 ISX while it is logging data to the
memory, the receiver will save and close any open files before
turning off.
NOTE For information about power consumption while the receiver is
off, see Section 6.4, Power Consumption , page 50. For
additional power button functions, see Section 3.1, Power
Button , page 20.
6.2 Power Source
You can power the GSR2700 ISX either by using its internal
batteries or by attaching an external power source to the system.
6.2.1 Internal batteries
The GSR2700 ISX incorporates two internal battery packs. If the
internal batteries are completely discharged, the GSR2700 ISX
can operate if an external power input is connected.
For information about charging the batteries, see Section 6.6,
Charging the Internal Batteries , page 52.
