Powering the Receiver
You can power the receiver using:
• Internal batteries
• External batteries
• A battery charger
Internal batteries
With a full charge, the receiver’s internal batteries should power
both the GPS receiver and the radio modem for not less than 16
working hours for the HiPer GD or 12 hours for the HiPer
GGD. If the internal radio modem is turned off, and with fully
charged on-board batteries, the receiver should run at least 18
hours for the HiPer GD or 14 hours for the HiPer GGD.
See “Charging Internal Batteries” on page 2-10 for more
information on charging the internal batteries.
1. Plug the power/charger cable into the power input port.
2. Plug the power/charger cable into an available outlet.
3. Press the Reset key on the receiver. This will ensure that
the receiver is in Normal mode for charging. The receiver
will not charge in Zero Power Mode (see “Zero Power
Mode” on page 4-22 for more information).
4. Leave overnight. A six-hour charge cycle will charge the
batteries about 90%. A seven-hour charge cycle will fully
charge the receiver. The internal batteries can not be
overcharged.
The speed of the charge depends on the Power and Charger
settings on the Receiver Configuration screen, and whether the
receiver is turned off or on. See “Power Management” on
page 2-5 for more information.
