Job data can be exported from a job in a variety of file types. A format can be defined in GGO Format
Manager. Refer to the online help of GGO Format Manger for information on creating format files.
Import
Data can be imported from ASCII, DXF, GSI8 or GSI16 format.
Transfer raw data to
GGO Raw data can be transferred between the database on the CompactFlash card and GGO in two ways: • From the CompactFlash card directly via a serial interface to a project in GGO on a PC.
• From the CompactFlash card using for example a card reader to a project in GGO on a PC.
For Zoom80 CompactFlash cards can directly be used in an external drive. Some PC card drives can require
an adaptor.

3.5 Batteries
3.5.1 Operating Principles
Charging / first-time
use • The battery must be charged prior to 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 between 0°C to +40°C/+32°F to +104°F. For
optimal charging we recommend charging the batteries 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
GeoMax, it is not possible to charge the battery if 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 GeoMax product deviates signif-
icantly form the actual battery capacity available.
Operation / Discharging • 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.
