Formatting a CompactFlash Card
C
WARNING –
Formatting a CompactFlash card while it is in the receiver
deletes all the data files on the card and all the application files in the
receiver.
To format a CompactFlash card for use in a 5700 receiver, insert the
card in the CompactFlash port, then hold down
[P]
for at least 30
seconds. After 15 seconds, the receiver is reset to its factory defaults,
and any ephemeris file is deleted. After 30 seconds, any files stored on
the card are deleted and the CompactFlash card is reformatted.
Note – When you use
[P]
to format the CompactFlash card, a quick format
is performed. A quick format reformats the card for use with the 5700
receiver and deletes all data on the card. A full format checks the card for
errors or bad sectors, and is only necessary if the card is corrupted. To
perform a full format, use the GPS Configurator software. For more
information, see The GPS Configurator Software, page 66.

Power Supply
The 5700 receiver can be powered either by its two internal batteries or
by an external power source connected to Port 2 or Port 3. The charge
provided by the internal batteries depends on the type of survey and
operating conditions. Typically, one battery provides about 3.5 hours of
power during an RTK survey using the internal radio, and about
5 hours during a survey without the internal radio.
The external power source is always used in preference to the internal
batteries. When there is no external power source connected, or if the
external power supply fails, the internal batteries are used. The internal
batteries are drained in turn, and the receiver automatically switches to
the full battery when the first battery is drained.
If no external power is supplied, and both internal batteries are
drained, none of the data that you have logged is lost. When internal or
external power is restored, the receiver restarts in the same state as
