2.1.1 General Battery Handling

Charging / firsttime use

Operation / Discharging

• 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 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 from the actual battery capacity available.

• 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.

2.2 Installing a SIM Card

2.3 Understanding Antenna Heights

Description • The height of the GNSS SmartAntenna above the measured point consists of

MRP The antenna accepts vertical height readings to the Mechanical Reference Plane, MRP.

Vertical phase centre variations

  

iCON gps 60, Using the iCON gps 60 SmartAntenna 29

three components:

• the vertical height reading,

• the vertical offset,

• the vertical phase centre variations.

• For most operations, pre-configured antenna settings of Leica field controllers (i.e. CC60/CC61 or CC50) can be used. These settings take the vertical phase centre variations into account.

These are handled automatically in the standard antenna records. The antenna calibrations to determine the phase centre variations were executed by Geo++® GmbH.

Pillar setup. For other than the GRT146 carrier, the dimensions must be determined and the vertical offset must be adapted.

Tripod setup. For height measurement devices other than the height hook, the dimensions must be determined and the vertical offset must be adapted.

Pole setup. For other than Leica poles, the dimensions must be determined.
