Safety information
Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
Your device contains a radio transmitter and receiver. The radiated output power is far below the
international radio frequency exposure limits. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and
establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on the
safety standards previously set by international standards bodies:
l American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.1-1992.
l National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP). Report 86. 1986.
l Int’l Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996.
l Ministry of Health (Canada), Safety Code 6. The standards include a substantial safety margin
designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
SAR: 0.545w/kg
Use of unauthorized or modified antennas may impair call quality and damage the device, causing loss of
performance. To assure optimal performance and ensure human exposure to RF energy is within the
guidelines set forth in the relevant standards; always use your device only in its normal-use position.
Avoiding contact with the antenna area when the device is IN USE optimizes the antenna performance.
Exposure to radio frequency radiation from Bluetooth and WLAN transmitters
This device is approved as a portable device with respect to Radio Frequency (RF) exposure compliance.
The radiated output power of the internal wireless radio transmitters is less than 100 milliwatt, which
results in exposure levels far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits, even when operated in close
proximity to the body. The internal wireless radios operate within guidelines found in international radio
frequency safety standards and recommendations, which reflect the consensus of the international
scientific community. Spectra Geospatial therefore believes the internal wireless radios are safe for use
by users. The level of electromagnetic energy emitted is hundreds of times lower than the
electromagnetic energy emitted by wireless devices such as mobile phones. However, the use of wireless
radios may be restricted in some situations or environments, such as on aircraft. If you are unsure of
restrictions, you are encouraged to ask for authorization before turning on the wireless radios.
Exposure to radio frequency radiation from cellular wireless transmitters
Devices equipped with wireless cellular modem radios have been designed and manufactured to meet
safety requirements for limiting exposure to radio waves. When used in accordance with the instructions
set forth in this manual, the equipment has been independently verified to not exceed the emission limits
for safe exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy as specified by the Federal Communications
Commission of the U.S. Government in 47 CFR §2.1093. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines
and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on
standards that were developed by independent scientific organization through periodic and thorough
Spectra Geospatial MobileMapper 60 Handheld User Guide | 8

evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure
the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
Telecommunications & Internet Association (TIA) information
Hearing Aids: Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such
interference, you may want to consult your wireless service provider, or call customer service to discuss
alternatives.
Pacemakers and Other Medical Devices: The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends a
minimum separation of six inches be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to
avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the
independent research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. Persons with
pacemakers should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.
Persons with pacemakers should exercise great caution if using a hands-free device such as a headset,
as these persons may be at greater risk of the device not maintaining the recommended minimum six
inches of separation from the pacemaker. If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking
place, turn the device OFF immediately.
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if
they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in
obtaining this information.
Turn the device OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to
do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF
energy.
ACadaptor safety
To charge the handheld’s battery, use the USB cable and adaptor kit provided with the handheld (see
Powering the handheld, page 18).
WARNING – To use ACadaptors safely:
l Use only the AC adaptor intended for the handheld. Using any other AC adaptor can damage the
handheld and may void your warranty. Do not use the AC adaptor with any other product.
l Make certain that the input voltage on the adaptor matches the voltage and frequency in your

Use and care of the handheld
The device’s rugged design allows you to run your device in harsh outdoor environments. Here are some
considerations that will help you protect your device and get the most out of it when working in very wet,
hot or cold conditions.
l The handheld is rated IP67 but is not completely waterproof. IPx7 is defined as resistant to
submersion in water up to 1 meter deep for up to 30 minutes. However, do not unnecessarily
immerse the handheld in water.
CAUTION – Make sure all sure the protective port covers are appropriately fitted to any external
ports, and that they are not damaged; if any protective port covers are missing or damaged in any
way, the IPx7 rating is compromised and the device is not water-resistant.
l The device is designed to resist damage for drops up to 4 ft (1.22 meters). However, the device
should not be dropped unnecessarily or subjected to any strong impact. Check the fit of the SIM
card, storage card, and battery after a drop.
l Protect the handheld from extreme temperatures. For example, do not leave the handheld on the
dashboard of a vehicle.
l Temperature range: The operational temperature range is from-20 °C to +55 °C (-4 °F to +131 °F).
Although the device is designed to be rugged, do not leave it in direct sunlight in excessive heat or in
a vehicle in the sunlight for extended periods as the internal temperature may exceed the operating
or storage temperature limits, especially while charging the battery.
Batteries perform best at room temperature. The battery has a stable capacity as temperatures
rise; however, the colder the temperature, the greater the reduction in available battery capacity.
Under very cold conditions (-20°C / -4 °F and below), the battery capacity is noticeably reduced. To
improve the battery performance in very cold conditions, consider increasing the load on the
battery, such as by adjusting the backlight to full brightness. Increasing the battery load causes the
battery to generate heat, thus warming the battery and improving the performance.
l Protect the display from impact, pressure, or abrasive substances that can scratch it or crack it.
Use your finger (or a capacitive stylus*), and avoid using excessive pressure and sharp or abrasive
objects. To protect the touch screen from pressure and abrasive objects, apply a screen protector;
one is shipped with the device, and you can purchase additional screen protectors if required. The
use of ballpoint pens, nails or other sharp objects to operate the touchscreen will scratch and/or
damage the device.
*NOTE - The display will work with a capacitive stylus; however Spectra Geospatial does not provide
a stylus accessory for this device.
l Do not use abrasive cleaners directly on the display. Doing so may void your warranty.
Spectra Geospatial MobileMapper 60 Handheld User Guide | 15
Page 16
1 Getting started
l Keep the outer surface free of dirt and dust. To clean the handheld, use a soft, dampened cloth with
either water or a diluted mild detergent. If a mild detergent is used, ensure all soap residue is
removed. Do not use any chemical cleaners and do not put the device in the dishwasher.
l Ensure that the protective covers are re appropriately fitted to any external ports so that they are
kept free from dirt, dust, fluid ingress, and electrostatic discharge.
Do not attempt to dismantle the device for repair. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. For
service, contact your local dealer.
Battery safety: Lithium-ion batteries are classified by the U. S. Federal Government as non-hazardous
waste and are safe for disposal in the normal municipal waste stream except where prohibited by local
or regional regulations. These batteries contain recyclable materials and are accepted for recycling.
NOTE – In the event of battery failure, return the device to Spectra Geospatial or an Authorized Service
Provider. Spectra Geospatial disposes of used batteries in accordance with local regulations.
l Do not disassemble or open, crush, bend or deform, puncture, or shred the battery assembly. There
are no user-serviceable parts in the battery assembly.
l Do not use the battery if plastic case is cracked, compromised or punctured.
l Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign objects into the battery, immerse or
expose to water or other liquids.
l Do not expose to fire, explosion, or other hazard. Do not expose to temperatures above +70 °C (+158
°F).
l Only use a charging system that has been qualified for use with the device.
l In the event of a battery leak, do not allow the liquid to come in contact with the skin or eyes. If
contact has been made, flush the affected area with water and seek medical advice.
Power supply safety: Use only AC adapters intended for the device. Other external power sources may
damage your product and void the warranty. Certification of this Class III product is only valid with the
power supply that shipped with the device.
l Ensure the input voltage on the power supply matches the voltage in your location. Ensure the
power supply has prongs compatible with your outlets.
l The power supply is designed for indoor use only. Avoid using the power supply in wet areas.
l Unplug the power supply from power when not connected to the device.
l Do not create a short circuit in the power output connector.

Using an external GNSS receiver
The MobileMapper 60 handheld contain an integrated uBlox Neo-M8T GNSS receiver, which is set to
ensure the best possible performance in the field for data collection and full compatibility with Spectra
Geospatial field and office software.
The receiver supports GPS, GPS+Galileo, GPS+GLONASS+Galileo, or GPS+Beidou+Galileo, with < 2 meter

5 Using the GNSS receiver
Receiving signals from GNSSsatellites
To receive signals from GNSS satellites, the handheld must have a clear view of the sky. GNSS positions
may not always be available, particularly in or near buildings, in vehicles, or under tree canopy.
For optimal GNSS reception, hold the handheld at 15° from horizontal allowing it visibility of the sky. When
collecting point data with a MobileMapper 60 handheld, it is recommended that you remain stationary at
the point for at least 10 seconds before beginning to log GNSS positions. This allows the GNSS receiver’s
internal algorithms to stabilize, and ensures the best possible point feature accuracy.
The GNSSreceiver supports all three available SBAS correction services (WAAS in North America, EGNOS
in Europe, and MSAS in Japan).
Using GNSS enables the handheld to determine your location with < 2 meter accuracy in open sky (with
SBAS), and enables geo-tagging of photos you take using the handheld's integrated camera (see Using
the camera, page 46 for more information on enabling geotagging and taking photos).
To use theGNSSreceiver:
1. Tap Settings / Security &Location.
2. Tap Location and tap the Off / On slider to On.
3. Tap Mode then select the mode you want the device to use to determine your location:
l High accuracy. Uses GNSS satellites, Wi-Fi, and cellular networks to determine your location.
l Battery saving. Uses Wi-Fiand cellular networks to determine your location.
l Device only. Uses GNSSonly to determine your location.
4. Tap the back arroww, then tap NMEAMode to turn it on or off.
5. Tap SBAS mode to turn it on or off.
6. Tap GNSS mode then select the mode you want the device to use (GPS only; GPS +BDS; GPS +
GLONASS; GPS + BDS + Galileo, GPS + GLONASS + Galileo, GPS + Galileo).
