About an hour later, with only about 20% of remaining power,
a new message will pop up: “Main Battery Very Low”. Tap
Dismiss in the task bar to continue using the receiver. Spectra
Precision however recommends that you turn off the receiver
and replace the battery. Place the low battery at the back of
the docking station at the office so that it can be quickly
recharged.

At this stage, if you persist in using the receiver with its low
battery, it won’t be long before the receiver switches to
Suspend mode, meaning the battery is no longer charged
enough to ensure proper operation of the receiver. Spectra
Precision recommends you do not go that far in the use of the
internal battery as there is a risk of losing part of your field
data.

In case of long-time storage, remember Li-Ion batteries must
always be recharged regularly, about every six months. This is
to prevent irreversible damage of the batteries.

Battery Charging Scenarios

As explained in First-Time Use on page 1, the docking station
will continuously check the charging status of the battery
inserted in the receiver and will charge it if necessary.

There is another way of charging the battery, separately from
the receiver, which is to use the dedicated slot located at the
back of the docking station. In this case the charging speed
will be the same as if the battery were charged from within a
turned-off receiver.

Follow the instructions below.

• Put the docking station [1] on a horizontal plane.

Connect the output cable [2] of the AC adapter to the
docking station.

Insert the battery [3] vertically, label inwards, into the slot
located at the back of the docking station.The light
