2.4 Power supply
NAVIK 100 GNSS receiver supports internal battery and external power input.
2.4.1 Internal battery
The receiver is equipped with one rechargeable Lithium-ion battery, which can be
removed for charging. The NAVIK 100 receiver adopts the hot swap battery design that provides
you an effective survey workflow. Receiver is powered by high capacity 6800 mAh Li-ion battery. Its
operating time depends on that it is working as a rover or as a base station with internal UHF Tx
(transmit at 1 W adjustable). And, this operating time also varies based on environmental
conditions.
Battery Safety
Charge and use the battery only in strict accordance with the instructions below:
Do not use or charge the battery if it appears to be damaged. Signs of damage include, but
are not limited to, discoloration, warping, and leaking battery fluid.
Do not expose the battery to fire, high temperature, or direct sunlight.
Do not immerse the battery in water.
Do not use or store the battery inside a vehicle during hot weather.
Do not drop or puncture the battery.
Do not open the battery or short-circuit its contacts.
Charging the Lithium-ion Battery
Although a battery charger is provided, the lithium-ion battery is supplied partially charged. To
charge the battery, first remove the battery from the receiver, and then place it in the battery
charger, which is connected to AC power. Please obey the following instructions when charging
your batteries:
Charge the battery completely before using it for the first time.
Fully charge takes approximately 6-8 hours at room temperature.
If the battery has been stored for a long time, charge it before your field work.
Re-charge the battery at least every three months if it is to be stored for long
time.
Storage of the Lithium-ion Battery
Do not keep batteries inside the receiver if the receiver not used for long time.
Keep batteries in dry conditions.
Take out the batteries from receiver for shipment.
Dispose of the Lithium-ion Battery

10
Discharge a Lithium-ion battery before dispose of it.
Dispose of batteries is an environmentally sensitive manner, and adhere to any local and
national regulations concerning battery disposing or recycling.
WARNING –Do not damage the rechargeable Lithium-ion battery. A damaged battery can cause an
explosion or fire, and can result in personal injury and/or property damage.
2.4.2 External Power Supply
The receiver is connected to an external power supply through a lemo to RS232 cable, and make
sure that the red alligator clip is connected to the positive of external power supply, black one to
negative. Over-voltage function cannot protect your NAVIK 100 receiver if reverse connection.
2.5 Pole-mounted setup
To mount the receiver on a range pole as the figure shown below:
Thread the receiver onto the range pole
Mount the controller bracket to the pole
