Swapping the battery
If the battery runs low while you are working, you can swap the battery.
1. Save any open files.
2. Ensure that you have a spare battery close by with sufficient charge to keep working.
3. Turn off the handheld.
4. Remove the old battery by pinching the battery latches together until the battery is
ejected. Slide the battery out.
Note:
The handheld is not sealed from water and dust when the battery is removed. STONEX
recommends only removing the battery for short periods of time and only removing the
battery indoors or from inside the protection of a vehicle.

Conserving power
Although the handheld battery can operate for a full day without recharging, STONEX
recommends you to do the following to reduce power consumption:
Set the handheld to automatically turn off when idle.
Set the backlight to automatically turn off when the handheld is idle for a specified
time.
Turn off the integrated Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and wireless cellular modem radios
whenever you are not using them.
Disconnect from the integrated GNSS receiver when GNSS data is not required by
closing GPS COM port. When you disconnect from GNSS, the integrated GNSS
receiver switches off and stops drawing power.
