CE SAR Compliance
This device meets the EU requirements (1999/519/
EC) on the limitation of exposure of the general pub-
lic to electromagnetic fields by way of health protec-
tion.
The limits are part of extensive recommendations for
the protection of the general public. These recom-
mendations have been developed and checked by in-
dependent scientific organizations through regular
and thorough evaluations of scientific studies. The
unit of measurement for the European Council's rec-
ommended limit for mobile devices is the "Specific
Absorption Rate" (SAR), and the SAR limit is 2.0 W/
kg averaged over 10 gram of body tissue. It meets the
requirements of the International Commission on
Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP).
For body worn operation, this device has been tested
and meets the ICNIRP exposure guidelines and the
European Standard EN 62311 and EN 62209-2, for
use with dedicated accessories. Use of other acces-
sories which contain metals may not ensure compli-
ance with ICNIRP exposure guidelines.
EU Conformance
The following CE compliance information is applica-
ble to this device that carry the following CE mark:
FCC
FCC Regulations:
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference,
and (2) this device must accept any interference re-
ceived, including interference that may cause unde-
sired operation.
This device has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant
to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are de-
signed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate ra-
dio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur
in a particular installation if this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television re-
ception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on. The user is encouraged to try
to correct the interference by one or more of the fol-
lowing measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment
and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a cir-
cuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by
the party responsible for compliance could void the
user‘s authority to operate the equipment.
The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be
co-located or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.
RF Exposure Information (SAR)
This device meets the government’s requirements for
exposure to radio waves.
This device is designed and manufactured not to ex-
ceed the emission limits for exposure to radio fre-
quency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission of the U.S. Govern-
ment.
The exposure standard for wireless devices employs
a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorp-
tion Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is
1.6W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard
operating positions accepted by the FCC with the de-
vice transmitting at its highest certified power level
in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is
determined at the highest certified power level, the
actual SAR level of the device while operating can be
well below the maximum value. This is because the
device is designed to operate at multiple power levels
so as to use only the poser required to reach the net-
work. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base
station antenna, the lower the power output.
The highest SAR value for the device as reported to
the FCC when worn on the body, as described in this
user guide, is 0.39 W/kg for GSM850 / 1.23 W/kg for
PCS1900 (Body-worn measurements differ among
device models, depending upon available accesso-
ries and FCC requirements.)
While there may be differences between the SAR lev-
els of various devices and at various positions, they
all meet the government requirement.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for
this device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as
in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines.
SAR information on this device is on file with the FCC
and can be found under the Display Grant section of
www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID:
NZI802111A.
This device is compliant with SAR for general popu-
lation /uncontrolled exposure limits in ANSI/IEEE
C95.1-1999 and had been tested in accordance with
the measurement methods and procedures specified
in OET Bulletin 65 Supplement C.
For body worn operation, this device has been tested
and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for use
with an accessory that contains no metal and the po-
sitions the handset a minimum of 0.5 cm from the
body. Use of other accessories may not ensure com-
pliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. If you do
not use a body-worn accessory and are not holding
the device at the ear, position the handset a mini-
mum of 0.5 cm from your body when the device is
switched on.

• Once the receiver has been initialized, you can remove the
SD card and put that card away in a safe place.
Warning! For some reason, you may need to use > Settings
> System > Reset to factory default to reset the receiver to its
default settings. Be aware this will delete the applications
you installed from the SD card. So please insert the SD card
before you reset to factory settings, This will automatically re-
start the installation of the applications once the reset
sequence is complete.
Adjusting
Backlight Level
The screen backlight may be adjusted to match the ambient
light for optimized visibility. You don’t need the same level of
screen backlight in dark areas than in hot sun.
• On the Home screen, tap successively , Settings, System
and Brightness.
• Drag the cursor to the right or left to set the screen
backlight to the desired level (between 0 and 10). The
resulting brightness is obtained when you release the
cursor.

neither the keypad nor the touch screen is active, you can set
the receiver to turn off the backlight automatically after a
certain idle time.
• On the Home screen, tap successively , Settings, System
and Backlight.
• Choose the idle time before the backlight is turned off
(10 seconds, 30 seconds or 1 to 5 minutes). For
maximum power saving, you may clear the option that re-
activates the screen backlight on touching the screen or
pressing a key.
Different settings may be made for these two parameters
depending on the power source used (battery or external).
• Tap OK to save the settings.
• Tap to return to the Home screen

English

Power
Management
A better way of saving the battery is to allow the receiver to
switch to Suspend mode automatically after a certain period
of inactivity.
• On the Home screen, tap successively , Settings and
Power.
• Tap on the Advanced tab. This tab allows you to ask for the
receiver to switch automatically to Suspend mode if it
stays idle for the period of time you choose. You may
choose a different setting depending on whether the
receiver is powered from the internal battery or from an
external power source.
• Tap OK to save the settings.
• Tap to return to the Home screen
Regional Settings
It’s a good idea to customize your receiver so that it complies
with a number of local preferences, such as country’s
currency, decimal point representation, time and date
formats, etc.
• On the Home screen, tap successively , Settings, System
and Regional Settings.
•OntheRegion tab, select your country.
• Use the other tabs to set your local settings:
– Number format

How to Hold the
Receiver
Tracking satellites with your receiver requires that you use the
receiver outdoor and hold it in an appropriate manner.
The receiver will have the best view of the sky when you hold
it at an angle of 30 to 45 degrees (38° ideally) from
horizontal and not too close to your body.
You can check that your receiver is tracking enough satellites
by running the GNSS Toolbox, and more particularly the
GNSS Status function (see GNSS Status on page 33). When
enough satellites are tracked, you can start using your
receiver and run your application software.
Switching to
Suspend Mode
Switching the receiver to Suspend mode is the right thing to
do when you need to make a short pause in your work and you
want to save the operating time of your battery. You should
not however switch the receiver to Suspend mode when it is
collecting raw data.
In Suspend mode, GNSS reception and the modem are off.
The receiver is idle, using the minimum of energy required to
save the use context. The Power & Battery LED flashes green
every 5 seconds or so.
To switch to Suspend mode, just press briefly on the Power
button [8].

Power & Battery LED
This LED [15] gives indications on the receiver power status,
battery charging and Windows Mobile notifications. Please
refer to LED Indicator on page 15 for more information on the
LED indications.
SDIO Interface
The SDIO interface [16] is used to insert an SD card.
To open the flap, use a finger nail or the tip of a pen.
Inserting an SD card: Push the SD card in until you hear a
“click”.
Removing an SD card: Push a bit further in and let go.
While using the receiver in the field, make sure the flap is
always close, whether an SD card is used or not. This will
efficiently protect the receiver from rain.
The SDIO interface can also be used to connect a WiFi
device.
External Antenna Input
Use the external antenna input [17] to connect an external
antenna to the receiver. When an external antenna is
connected, the built-in antenna is automatically
disconnected from the receiver input.
The antenna input connector is protected by a rubber flap.
Although a waterproof coaxial connector is used, Spectra
Precision recommends you keep the flap close when no
external antenna is used.

Power/Data Connector
This connector ([18]) is used to plug the receiver to the
docking station. This is achieved by simply inserting the
receiver in an almost vertical position into the docking
station. A secure connection is obtained once the receiver
naturally rests on the docking station.

Using this connector, the receiver can also be powered via the
POGO cable (see picture) or a cigarette lighter adapter.
However, none of these connections will allow the internal
battery to be charged from the external power source then
used.
Docking Station The docking station basically is a holder for the receiver. It
may be used at the office for various and combined purposes:
• As a safe and convenient tool for temporary receiver
storage. The receiver is held firmly minimizing the risk of
fall or scratches.
• As a battery charger once powered by the AC adapter. The
docking station can charge the battery inserted in the
receiver as well as an additional battery placed at the back
of the docking station.
When two batteries are charged simultaneously, fast
charging (< 4 hours) is always for the battery in the
turned-off receiver and slow charging (about 11 hours) for
the spare battery located at the back of the docking
station.
Charging for the spare battery switches to fast charging
once the receiver battery is fully charged or the receiver is
removed from the docking station.
• As an interface with a computer for office work, using a
serial data line (USB or RS232 port), possibly through
Microsoft ActiveSync.

The top view of the docking station shows the slot [19] in
which to insert the receiver from above the docking station.
At the bottom of the slot is the 16-contact connector [20].
When resting on the docking station, the receiver is
automatically powered from the AC adapter (if connected)
and the charging status of its internal battery tested.
Rear View
The following elements can be found at the rear of the
docking station:
• Back slot [21] for charging a second battery
• Charging indicator [22] for back slot:
– Steady red: Battery charging in progress
– Steady green: Battery fully charged
– Off: No battery connected
– Blinking red, every second: Temperature inside battery
exceeds upper limit. Charging suspended until
temperature is back to normal. If persisting, remove
the battery and resume charging later. If this occurs
several times with the same battery, consider changing
the battery. Dispose of the battery according to
regulations.
• Mini USB connector [23]: Use this connector only to let
the receiver communicate with your computer through
Microsoft ActiveSync (USB “Device”).
• USB connector [24], Use this connector to plug a USB
key (USB “Host”, mass storage only).
• RS232 SubD 9-C connector [25]: Use this port to connect
the receiver to a computer or external device.
• Power input [26]. Connect the output of the AC adapter to
this input.

Advanced Features
Power Modes The receiver can be powered from one of three different
sources:
• Its internal battery (typically for field operations)
• The power line, through the AC adapter and the docking
station (typically for office work). These two items are part
of the basic supply.
• An external DC source using the POGO cable or the
cigarette lighter adapter connected to the bottom of the
receiver through its 16-pin connector. The POGO cable
and cigarette lighter adapter are optional accessories.
The receiver can be switched to Suspend mode. This is a
power saving mode typically used in the field to allow a quick
restart after a pause. In this mode, only some parts of the
receiver are powered for the sole purpose of restoring the
context of use in which the receiver was when it was switched
to Suspend mode. GNSS reception is not however maintained
in this mode. That is why the receiver should NOT be used in
that mode while collecting raw data or/and operating in RTK
mode.
The receiver can also enter the Suspend mode automatically
in case of a very low battery after dismissing successively the
two “low battery” alerts, or after an idle time that you can set
through Start, Settings, Power (Advanced tab) (See also Power
Management on page 6). When collecting raw data and/or
operating in RTK mode, please clear this option so that the
receiver can never enter this mode.
Please note the following points whenever the receiver is
connected to a docking station powered by the AC adapter:
• The receiver won’t start if you try to power it up from the
docking station without having an internal battery
previously inserted in the receiver.
• If the receiver is currently on, the power input is switched
automatically from the internal battery to the AC adapter.
• Whether the receiver is on or off, the internal battery is
tested for its charging status. If it is discharged, a
charging sequence is started automatically. The end of
charging is also automatically detected, meaning you are
allowed to keep the battery and/or the receiver on the
docking station without any risk of overcharging.
• The AC adapter and docking station are designed to
provide power to the receiver while ensuring the charging
