This chapter describes how to power the receiver, charge the batteries, and use an external power source.
The receiver will draw a small amount of power from the external battery when it is turned off. If the
receiver is placed in storage for a long period, such as a few months, the battery may become fully
discharged. Use an external power supply or recharge the battery before use.
The external battery is shipped from the factory with a partial discharge. For maximum operating time,
fully charge the battery before using the receiver.
Managing Power
The receiver draws power from the internal (non-removable) battery once the external battery is discharged. If
there is no valid external power source connected, or if the source has discharged lower than 6.5V, or the
external battery is discharged, the receiver will draw power from the internal battery.
You can replace a discharged external battery with a charged one without interrupting receiver’s operation.
The internal battery is shipped from the factory with a partial discharge. For maximum operating
time, fully charge the battery before using the receiver.

Configuration
The receiver’s Non-Volatile Random Access Memory (NVRAM) holds data required for satellite tracking, such as
ephemeris data and receiver position. The NVRAM also keeps the current receiver’s settings, such as active
antenna input, elevation masks and recording interval, and information about the receiver’s internal file system.
A factory reset clears the receiver’s NVRAM and restores the receiver’s factory default settings. Factory reset
takes about 1-2 minutes to perform.
Although a factory reset or clearing the NVRAM is not recommended as a common practice, there are times
when it can eliminate communication or tracking problems.
After a factory reset, the receiver requires time to collect new ephemerids and almanacs (around 15 minutes).
A factory reset will not delete any files already recorded in the receiver’s memory, and the NVRAM keeps
information about the receiver file system. The process takes approximately two minutes.
There are two ways you can perform a factory reset: using TRU and using the LED display panel.

The receiver contains the internal Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). With the IMU, you can do the following:
• Determinate the tilt angle of the pole and transmit the value to the field software.
– The software calculates the true coordinate of the measured ground point. To activate this mode, use
MAGNET Field (version 4.0 and higher).
– For Topo, Autotopo and Stake survey, MAGNET Field uses the till angle of the pole from the IMU to
calculate the offset of the phase center GPS antenna in the horizontal plane, for each GPS epoch. Use
these offset values to obtain the true coordinate of the measured ground point.
– This mode will work if the current tilt angle does not exceed the value in the Tilt Correction Limit
field. To activate Tilt Correction mode (Figure 31), select the check box in the Tilt Correction Limit
field and specify the corresponding angle.
Configuration

System Setup
The receiver calculates the coordinates of the antenna’s phase center. To determine the coordinates of the
station marker, specify the following:
• Measured height of the antenna above the station marker.
• Method of measuring the antenna height.
• Model of the antenna/receiver used.
Any necessary antenna phase center adjustments, based on the antenna model, are automatically applied.
These adjustments, when combined with accurately measured height and measurement methods, allows for
correctly computed reference marker coordinates.
To accurately measure the antenna height, do the following:
1. Measure the antenna height above the control point or marker, either the slant height or the vertical
height.
You may either measure the vertical height to the Antenna Reference Point (ARP) located at the bottom of
the receiver at the base of the mounting threads, or measure the slant height to the Slant Height
Measurement Mark (SHMM) on the side of the receiver. For ARP and SHMM marks on the receiver, see
Figure 33.
2. Record the antenna height, points name, and start time in the field notes.
