Notices

Class B statement- Notice to users This equipment has been tested and
found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2)
this device must ac cept any interference received, including inter ference
that may cause undesired operation.

This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions may
cause harmful interference to radio communication.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined
by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
– Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that

to which the receiver is connected.

– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes and modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer

or registrant of this equipment can void your authority to operate this
equipment under Federal Communications Commission rules.

2 Pro Series Receivers User Guide

The radios in this device have been designed and manufactured to not
exceed stipulated emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF)
energy as required by the Federal Communications Commission of the
U.S. Government 47 C.F.R. § 2.1091 and 2.1093.

The external antenna connector provided in this device is for GNSS
antennas only.

Canada

This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise
emissions from digital apparatus as set out in the radio interference
regulations of the Canadian Department of Communications.

Le présent appareil numérique n'émet pas de bruits radioélectriques
dépassant les limites applicables aux appareils numériques de Classe B
prescrites dans le règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique édicté par
le Ministère des Communications du Canada.

Antenna Statement

Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only
operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain
approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential
radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be
so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not
more than that necessary for successful communication.

Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent
émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain
maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada.
Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à
l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son
gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne
dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une
communication satisfaisante.

Licence exempt

This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS
standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that
may cause undesired operation of the device.

Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada
applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est
autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes :
(1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et
(2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique
subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le
onctionnement.

Safety

Safety

Before you use the Trimble® Pro series receiver, ensure that you have read and
understood all safety requirements.

C

C

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.

Bluetooth radio use

The Pro series receiver is shipped with Bluetooth® wireless technology activated. To
prevent the receiver from emitting radio signals, turn off the receiver.

Note – You may need to deactivate the Bluetooth radio in the receiver if the country in
which you are working does not approve the use of Bluetooth wireless technology. If you are
unsure about whether the Pro series receiver’s radios are approved for use in your country,
check with your Trimble reseller.

Use the Radio Activation Manager software to deactivate the Bluetooth radio, or to
reactivate the radio if it has have been deactivated. For more information, see

Deactivating and reactivating the Bluetooth radio, page 15.

Exposure to radio frequency radiation from Bluetooth 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. Trimble 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.

4 Pro Series Receivers User Guide

Introduction

The Pro Series Receivers User Guide describes how to use a Trimble® Pro series Pro 6H
receiver or a Pro series Pro 6T receiver.

The Pro series receivers are high-performance GNSS receivers. They have an integrated
antenna and receiver, a user-removable battery, and Bluetooth
for connectivity with field computers.

Both the Pro 6H and Pro 6T receivers are compatible with Trimble Floodlight
shadow reduction technology for improved productivity in conditions where sky view
is obstructed by buildings, trees, or landscape features.

The Floodlight satellite shadow reduction technology is provided as standard with the
Pro 6H receiver. For the Pro 6T receiver, you will need to purchase the Floodlight
satellite shadow reduction technology option. For more information, see Additional

receiver options, page 15.
