4.2 Batteries
4.2.1 Operating Principles
• The battery must be charged before using it for the first time because it is
delivered with an energy content as low as possible.
• The permissible temperature range for charging is from 0 °C to +40 °C/
+32 °F to +104 °F. For optimal charging, we recommend charging the bat-
teries at a low ambient temperature of +10 °C to +20 °C/+50 °F to +68 °F
if possible.
• It is normal for the battery to become warm during charging. Using the
chargers recommended by Leica Geosystems, it is not possible to charge
the battery once the temperature is too high.
• For new batteries or batteries that have been stored for a long time
(> three months), it is effectual to make only one charge/discharge cycle.
• For Li-Ion batteries, a single discharging and charging cycle is sufficient. We
recommend carrying out the process when the battery capacity indicated
on the charger or on a Leica Geosystems product deviates significantly
from the actual battery capacity available.
•
The batteries can be operated from
−
20 °C to +55 °C/
−
4 °F to +131 °F.
•
Low operating temperatures reduce the capacity that can be drawn; high
operating temperatures reduce the service life of the battery.

The battery is inserted in the bottom part of the instrument.
1. Push the slide fastener of the battery compartment in the direction
of the arrow with the open-lock symbol.
2. Remove the cover from the battery compartment.
3. To remove the battery, push the battery slightly upwards and at the
same time pull out the bottom part of the battery. This releases the
battery from its fixed position.
4. To insert the battery, slide the battery into the cover of the battery
compartment with the battery contacts facing upwards. Push the
battery downwards so that it locks into position.
5. Insert the cover of the battery compartment into the compartment.
6. Push the slide fastener in the direction of the arrow with the close-
lock symbol.
