2.2 Powering the Handheld
The STONEX S7 series handheld contains a removable rechargeable Lithium-ion battery.
Note:
Charge the battery completely before using the handheld for the first time. If the
battery has been stored for longer than six months, charge it before use.
STONEX recommends charging the battery for five hours to recharge it fully.
When the battery is fully charged, the handheld battery provides enough power for a full
work day (8 hours) using the internal GPS/GNSS antenna and with the backlight on at the
default settings.
