2.2 Step 2: Charge the Battery Pack
Charging/first-time
use
For Li-Ion batteries:
• The batteries must be charged prior to using 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 Leica Geosystems, 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 Leica Geosystems product
deviates significantly form the actual battery capacity available.
Operation/
Discharging
• The batteries can be operated from -30°C to +50°C / -22°F to
+122°F.
• Low operating temperatures reduce the capacity that can be drawn;
very high operating temperatures reduce the service life of the
battery.
Charge the Battery
Pack, step-by-step
Step Description
1. Mount the plug onto the wall charger (if it is not already
assembled).
2. Plug the wall charger into an outlet.
3. Plug the other end of the wall charger into the DC jack of the
Field PC.
4. The device turns on after a few seconds, and a flashing red
light signals the device is charging.

2.3 Step 3: Establish Basic Settings on the Device
Basic Settings,
step-by-step
Using the stylus, follow the instructions on the screen to calibrate the
device and establish basic settings.
We recommend creating a name for the Field PC so external devices like
desktop computers or Bluetooth devices can differentiate it from other
devices more easily.
To create a name, follow these steps:
Your Field PC is now field ready. If you have Windows 2000 or Windows
XP, follow the next steps to install ActiveSync, which allows you to install
programs onto your device using a desktop computer.
Note to Microsoft Windows Vista users:
You have basic file synchronization capability with your desktop
computer without installing any additional software. To access these
basic sync options, connect the Field PC to the desktop computer using
a USB cable. For full synchronization support such as Microsoft Outlook
)Windows Mobile is pre-installed on the DX10 in English
language. For other language options of Windows Mobile oper-
ating systems, please consult the support/downloads section
on the website: www.junipersys.com.
