Home screen. At this stage, you may be asked to
nitialize the receiver (screen alignment, etc.). Just follow
i
the instructions on the screen to complete this step.
The operating system used in the receiver is Microsoft
Windows
on how to use the different applications, you can visit
the Microsoft web site at:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsembedded/en-us/windowsembedded-handheld-6-5.aspx
Depending on how long your product was stored in its
package before being shipped to you, the remaining power in
the battery may be too low to allow the receiver to operate for
your entire working session. For this reason, the first thing to
do is to check the battery charge status:
• Tap on the title bar at the top of the screen. The Quick
Toolbar appears just underneath.
• Tap on the Battery icon. This opens the Power window and
simultaneously closes the Quick Toolbar.
he Power window shows the status of the battery (see also
T
Internal Battery on page 13). If the remaining power is
greater than 50%, then you can use the receiver without
having to charge the battery first (with 50% of remaining
charge, you can use the receiver for several hours). Skip
the next section and go directly to Adjusting Backlight
Level and Idle Time on page 4.
• If it less, Spectra Precision recommends you first charge

Adjusting
Backlight Level
and Idle Time
4
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.
Backlight Idle Time: One way of saving the battery is to avoid
those periods of time during which the screen backlight is
unnecessarily on. As the receiver automatically counts the
time during which 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.
Follow the instructions below to set these two parameters:
• Press the Windows key and tap successively on Settings,
System and Backlight.
• Tap on the Battery Power tab.
• Drag the cursor to the right or left to set the screen
backlight to the desired level (between Dark and Bright).
The resulting brightness is obtained when you release the
cursor.
•Tick the Turn off backlight if device... check box and then
choose the idle time before the backlight is turned off
(10 seconds, 30 seconds or 1 to 5 minutes)
Note that the backlight level and idle time can be set to
different values for when the receiver is operated from an
external power source instead of its internal battery. You
can make these settings after tapping on the External
Power tab.
•Tap OK to save all your changes and return to the previous
screen.
English
Power
Management
Setting Time & Date
Another way of saving the battery is to allow the receiver to

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 and return to the previous
screen.
Remember that the receiver should NOT be allowed to switch
automatically to Suspend mode if it is expected to collect
data for a long period of time and you know the keyboard will
be left idle during this time.
• Press the Windows key and tap successively on
Settings,and Clock & Alarms.
•On the Time tab, select your time zone and then enter the
local date and time.
•Tap OK to save your settings.

Advanced Features
Power Modes The receiver has three power modes:
• Shutdown: The receiver is off.
• On: The receiver is fully powered
• Suspend: In this mode, the screen content and backlight
are turned off to save power and the use context is saved.
When quitting the Suspend mode, the use context is
restored instantly. Typically this mode is used in the field
to allow a quick restart after a pause.
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 a press on the Windows key,
and selecting Settings, Power (Advanced tab) (See also
Power Management on page 5).
Suspend Mode
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. The receiver should NOT however be used
in that mode while collecting raw data.
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 a press on the Windows key, then Settings, System and
Power (Advanced tab) (See also Power Management on
page 5). When collecting raw data, please clear this option so
that the receiver can never enter this mode.

pressing the Windows key and then selecting Settings, System,
Power (see screen example).
When the remaining power drops below 10% of full charge
(orange area), you will see the message “Main Battery Low”
prompting you to replace or recharge the battery. Tap Dismiss
in the task bar. You should consider replacing the battery for
a fresh one but you may still continue to use the receiver for
a while.
With only about 5% of remaining power (red area), a new
message will pop up: “Main Battery Very Low”. Tap Dismiss in
the task bar to continue using the receiver. Spectra Precision
however recommends that you turn off the receiver and
replace the battery.
With only about 1% of remaining power, the receiver will
switch off, meaning the battery is no longer charged enough
to ensure proper operation of the receiver. Spectra Precision
recommends you do not go that far in the use of the internal
battery as there is a risk of losing part of your field data.
In case of long-time storage, remember Li-Ion batteries must
always be recharged regularly, about every six months. This is
to prevent irreversible damage of the batteries.

Battery Charging Scenarios
The battery can be charged in two different ways:
• From the power line, through the AC adapter and USB
cable provided. This configuration offers fast battery
charging, with around 700 mA of DC charging current.
• From an office computer connected to the receiver
through a USB line, using the same USB cable provided.
According to the USB 2.0 specification, the DC current
delivered will be limited to 500 mA, which means it will
take longer to charge the battery from a computer’s USB
port than from the AC adapter.
You can ask the receiver not to allow the charging of the
battery through the USB port when this port is connected
to a computer. To do this:
– Press the Windows key
– Select Settings, System, Power
– Clear the option: When equipment opens and links to PC,
do not carry out battery charging
–Tap OK.
Extracting the Battery from the Compartment
Lever the battery out of its compartment using the stylus or a
flat screwdriver. (The flat end of the stylus is inserted in the
groove located on the bottom side of the battery, as shown
below.)
English
Likewise, extracting the SIM card or micro SD card from the
battery compartment requires the use of a spiky-tipped tool
to pull the card out of its slot.
USB Connection By default, the mini-USB connector is set to allow a
connection to a computer using Active Sync. You just need to
connect the USB cable provided between the receiver’s miniUSB connector and any computer fitted with a standard USB
connector. Provided Microsoft ActiveSync has been installed
on the computer, a serial connection will be initiated
automatically when you plug the cable. You can then use this
connection to exchange files, explore the receiver’s file

Motion Sensor Enabling Automatic Screen Rotation
By default, the receiver screen is used in portrait format.
Rotating the receiver by 90° will not cause the screen format
to switch to landscape format.
Operating the receiver this way is usually what you expect
from your receiver because you need to keep it always in
portrait position, with an angle of 45° for best satellite
reception.
You can however ask the receiver to rotate the display
automatically, depending on the position you give to the
receiver.
• Press the Windows key and tap successively on Settings,
System and Motion Sensor.

• Enable the Screen rotation function. Using the Sensitivity
cursor, you can also adjust the sensitivity with which the
receiver will react to motion.
•Tap OK to validate all your settings.

Just before disabling the Screen rotation function (see above),
make sure the current screen format (portrait or landscape) is
the one you wish to use. If it’s not, first rotate the receiver
accordingly so you get this screen format, and then you can
disable the Screen rotation function.
