Safety Information
Before you use your Trimble product, make sure that you have read and understood all
safety requirements.
WARNING – This alert warns of a potential hazard which, if not avoided, could
result in severe injury or even death.
CAUTION – This alert warns of a potential hazard or unsafe practice that could
result in minor injury or property damage or irretrievable data loss.
NOTE – An absence of specific alerts does not mean that there are no safety risks involved.
Use and care
This product is designed to withstand the rough treatment and tough environment that
typically occurs in construction applications. However, the receiver is a high-precision
electronic instrument and should be treated with reasonable care.
CAUTION – Operating or storing the receiver outside the specified temperature
range can damage it.
Exposure to radio frequency radiation
For 450 MHz radio
Safety. Exposure to RF energy is an important safety consideration. The FCC has adopted a
safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy emitted
by FCC regulated equipment as a result of its actions in General Docket 79-144 on March
13, 1986.
Proper use of this radio modem results in exposure below government limits. The
following precautions are recommended:
l DO NOT operate the transmitter when someone is within the following distances of the
antenna:
l Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GSM/UTMS – less than 20 cm (7.9 inches)
l 410-470 MHz UHF radio – less than 47 cm (18.5 inches)
Trimble R10-2 GNSS Receiver User Guide | 4
Draft
Safety Information
l DO NOT operate the transmitter unless all RF connectors are secure and any open
connectors are properly terminated.
l DO NOT operate the equipment near electrical blasting caps or in an explosive
atmosphere.
l All equipment must be properly grounded according to Trimble installation
instructions for safe operation.
l All equipment should be serviced only by a qualified technician.
For license-free 900 MHz radio
CAUTION – For your own safety, and in terms of the RF exposure requirements of
the FCC, always observe these precautions:
l Always maintain a minimum separation distance of 24 cm (9.5 inches) between
yourself and the radiating antenna.
l Do not co-locate the antenna with any other transmitting device.
NOTE – 900 MHz radios are not used in Europe.
For internal wireless radio transmitters
The radiated output power of the internal Bluetooth wireless radio and the Wi-Fi radio
included in some Trimble receivers is far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits.
Nevertheless, the wireless radio(s) shall be used in such a manner that the Trimble receiver
is 20 cm or further from the human body. The internal wireless radio(s) operate within
guidelines found in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations, which reflect
the consensus of the scientific community. Trimble therefore believes that the internal
wireless radio(s) are safe for use by consumers. The level of energy emitted is far less 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 radio.
Exposure to radio frequency radiation from cellular wireless transmitters
Trimble receivers 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.
Trimble R10-2 GNSS Receiver User Guide | 5
Draft
Safety Information
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 evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial
safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
For UMTS radio
Safety. Exposure to RF energy is an important safety consideration. The FCC has adopted a
safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy emitted
by FCC regulated equipment as a result of its actions in General Docket 79-144 on March
13, 1986.
Proper use of this radio modem results in exposure below government limits. The
following precautions are recommended:
l DO NOT operate the transmitter when someone is within 20 cm (7.9 inches) of the
antenna.
l All equipment should be serviced only by a qualified technician.
Installing antennas
CAUTION – For your own safety, and in terms of the RF exposure requirements of
the FCC, always observe these precautions:
l Always maintain a minimum separation distance of 24 cm (9.5 inches) between
yourself and the radiating antenna.
l Do not co-locate the antenna with any other transmitting device.
WARNING – The GNSS antenna and its cabling should be installed in accordance
with all national and local electrical codes, regulations, and practices. The antenna and
cabling should be installed where they will not become energized as a result of falling
nearby power lines, nor be mounted where they are subjected to over-voltage
transients, particularly lightning. Such installations require additional protective means
that are detailed in national and local electrical codes.
Trimble receiver internal radios have been designed to operate with the antennas listed
below. Antennas not included in this list are strictly prohibited for use with this device. The
required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.
Trimble-approved antennas that can be used (country dependent) are:
l 450 MHz radio – 0dBi and 5 dBi whip antennas
Trimble R10-2 GNSS Receiver User Guide | 6
Draft
Safety Information
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should
be so chosen so that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than
that permitted for successful communication.
Type approval
Type approval, or acceptance, covers technical parameters of the equipment related to
emissions that can cause interference. Type approval is granted to the manufacturer of
the transmission equipment, independent from the operation or licensing of the units.
Some countries have unique technical requirements for operation in particular radiomodem frequency bands. To comply with those requirements, Trimble may have modified
your equipment to be granted type approval.
Unauthorized modification of the units voids the type approval, the warranty, and the
operational license of the equipment.

batteries are charging in the battery charger, the batteries will be charged sequentially,
from left to right.
Leave a deeply discharged or shorted battery overnight in the charger to attempt to revive
the battery. A shorted battery is typically revived as soon as the slot is scanned. If the red
LED turns off, the battery is revived. If the red LED stays on, the battery is no longer
functional and needs to be replaced.

Base station extension with measurement lever
The Trimble R10 GNSS receiver uses a base station extension pole that increases the
height of the receiver to allow clearance for the 450 MHz internal radio antenna and also
allows for easy and accurate measurement of the base station antenna height. The
extension pole includes a height measurement lever with a defined measurement point:
To measure the height of the base station extension with measurement lever, measure the
slant height from the control point on the ground to the height measurement point on the
lever. Enter the slant height into the field software (or web interface) and then select the
Lever of R10 extension measurement method. The field software (or web interface)
automatically calculates the antenna height from the slant height. The base station
extension with measurement lever should be used when setting up a base station or static
session on an extension leg tripod with tribrach.
The illustration below shows the Trimble R10 GNSS receiver with base station extension
with measurement lever (P/N89846-00):
The Base Station Extension with Measurement Lever is available as a standalone accessory
(P/N89846-00) or within the Base Kit or Post processed (PP) Kit.
NOTE – Measuring to the measurement lever is not required when using a fixed height tripod. If the
base station extension with measurement lever is used with a fixed height tripod, the height of the

Button and LED operations
The LEDs on the front panel indicate various operating conditions. Generally, a lit or slowly
flashing LED indicates normal operation, a LED that is flashing quickly indicates a condition
that may require attention, and an unlit LED indicates that no operation is occurring. The
following table defines each possible LED state:
The term... means that the LED...
