1.3.2Power Concept

General

Power options

Use the Leica Geosystems batteries, chargers and accessories or accessories recommended by Leica Geosystems to ensure the correct functionality of the instrument.

Model	Power supply
all CS models	Internally by GEB211/GEB212 battery, OR
	Externally by docking station, OR
	Externally by GEV235 cable, OR
	Externally by GEV219 cable (only CS models with LEMO CBC01
	connector module), OR
	Externally by GDC221 car adapter
	If an external power supply is connected and the internal battery
	is inserted, then the external power is used.
GS05/GS06	Externally by CS field controller
GS08/GS12	Internally by GEB211/GEB212 battery, OR
	Externally by GEV219 cable
	If an external power supply is connected and the internal battery
	is inserted, then the external power is used.

1.3.3Data Storage Concept

Description	Data is stored on a memory device. The memory device can be an SD card, Compact-
	Flash card, USB stick or internal memory.
Memory device	SD card:	All CS field controllers have an SD card slot fitted as standard.
		An SD card can be inserted and removed.
		Available capacity: 1 GB.
	CompactFlash card:	All CS field controllers have a CF card slot fitted as standard.
		A CompactFlash card can be inserted and removed.
		Available capacity: 256 MB, 1 GB.
	USB stick:	All CS field controllers have a USB port fitted as standard.
	Internal memory:	All CS field controllers have an internal memory fitted as
		standard. Available capacity: 1 GB.

) While other SD cards or CompactFlash cards can be used, Leica Geosystems recommends to only use Leica SD cards or Leica CompactFlash cards and is not responsible for data loss or any other error that can occur while using a non-Leica card.

)Removing the SD card, CompactFlash card or USB stick while the CS field controller is turned on can cause loss of data. Only remove the SD card, CompactFlash card or USB stick or unplug connecting cables when the CS field controller is switched off.

CS10/CS15, Description of the System		20
Transfer data	Data can be transferred in various ways. Refer to "3.1.7 Connecting to a Personal
	Computer".

)CompactFlash cards and SD cards can directly be used in an OMNI drive as supplied by Leica Geosystems. Other PC card drives can require an adaptor.
