To prevent the handheld from emitting radio signals, do one of the following:

l

To turn off the handheld, press the Powerbutton to display the Power menu then tap
Shutdown.

l

To turn off the Bluetooth and wireless cellular modem radios only:

a.

Tap the title bar on the Home or Start screen, and then on the pull-down list, tap the
or icon.

b. In the Connectivity or the Phone dialog, select Wireless Manager.

c. Tap All to turn off all radios. The status fields below the Bluetooth and Phone buttons

change to Off.

Deactivating the integrated Bluetooth radio

The Geo 5Thandheld is shipped with Bluetooth wireless technology activated. To use the Bluetooth
radio, you need to turn it on (see Turning on and turning off the integrated radios, page 49).

Note – You may need to deactivate the Bluetooth radio in the handheld if the country in which you
are working does not approve the use of Bluetooth wireless technology. If you are unsure about
whether the Geo 5T handheld’s radios are approved for use in your country, check with your

Geo 5T and then click Radio Activation Manager.

RF Exposure Information (SAR)

This device meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves. This deviceis
designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF)
energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. The exposure
standard for wireless devices employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption
Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard
operating positions accepted by the FCC with the device transmitting at its highest certified power
levelin all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power
level, the actual SAR level of the device while operating can be well belowthe maximum value. This is
because the deviceis designed to operate at multiple powerlevels so as to use only the poser

Trimble Geo 5T Handheld User Guide 7

required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the
lowerthe power output.

The highest SAR value for the device as reported to the FCC when worn on the body, as described in
the user guide, is no more than 0.39 W/kg for GSM850/ 1.23 W/kg for PCS1900 (Body-worn
measurements differ among device models, depending upon availableaccessories and FCC
requirements.) While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various devices and at
various positions, they all meet thegovernment requirement. The FCC has granted an Equipment
Authorization for this device with allreported SAR levels evaluated as in compliancewith the FCC RF
exposure guidelines. SAR information on this device is on file with the FCC and can be found under
the Display Grant section of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID: NZI802111A.

This device is compliant with SAR for general population /uncontrolled exposure limits in ANSI/IEEE
C95.1-1999and had been tested in accordance with the measurement methods and procedures
specified in OET Bulletin 65 Supplement C. For body worn operation, this device has been tested
and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for use with an accessory that contains no metal and the
positions the handset a minimum of 0.5cm from the body. Use of other accessories may not ensure
compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. If you do not use a body-worn accessory and are not
holding the device at the ear, position the handset a minimum of 0.5 cm from your body when the
device is switched on.

Exposure to radio frequency radiation from Bluetooth transmitters

This device is approved as a portable devicewith 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
lowerthan 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

Geo 5Thandhelds 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 evaluation of scientificstudies. The standards
include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age
and health.

Storage memory is similar to the hard disk in a computer, and is used for storing programs and
data.

l

Program memory is similar to the RAM in a computer, and is used for running programs. You
cannot use it to save data.

To check the memory capacity on the handheld, tap /Settings/ System/Memory. The Storage
and Program columns show the current memory available, and the memory that is already in use.

Trimble Geo 5T Handheld User Guide 22

Pre-installed documents and program files are not affected by power loss or resetting. However,
you can still lose data if you accidentally deleteor overwrite it.

CAUTION - The WindowsEmbedded Handheld 6.5 Professional operating system does not include a Recycle Bin.
When you delete files from the handheld, they are deleted permanently.

Trimble recommends that you regularly copy important data to an officecomputer. For more
information, see Connecting to an officecomputer, page 44.

Memory cards

As an alternative to storage memory, you can save data to a memory card. Use either an SD or an
SDHC (high capacity) memory card to securely transfer data to and from another device that
supports SD or SDHC memory cards.

WARNING- The presence of any dust or moisture in the memory card slot may adversely affect the device and

void your Trimble warranty. To prevent dust or moisture entering the memory card slot:
– Make certain that the storage card slot door is attached correctly when you are using the handheld outdoors.
–When inserting or removing a memory card, place the handheld on a dust-free indoor surface.

WARNING - Static electricity can harm electronic components inside the handheld. To prevent static damage,

discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of the electronic components inside your device,
such as a memory module. You can do so by touching an unpainted metal surface.

To insert an SD or SDHC memory card:

1. Turn off the handheld. See Turning on and turning off the handheld, page 21.

2. Remove the SDIOcover.

3. Insert the SD or SDHCcard into the card slot.

4. Replace the cover.

Trimble Geo 5T Handheld User Guide 23

5. When you select the Save As option in an application, the memory card appears in the list of
available storage locations.

Note – Do not store required data or applications to a memory card if the card will be removed.
Data saved to a memory card is available only when the card is inserted in the handheld.

Encrypting files on memory cards

To prevent sensitive data on a memory card from being used if the card is lost or stolen, files can be
encrypted as they are placed on the card.

When encryption is enabled, an encryption key is stored on the handheld. Files are encrypted as
they are copied or written to the memory card. Files already saved on memory cards before
enabling encryption are not automatically encrypted.

Note – Because the encryption key is stored on the handheld, encrypted files are only readable on
the handheld on which they are initially encrypted. It is not possible to read encrypted files on the
storage card with any other device, including another Trimble Geo 5T handheld or an office
computer.

CAUTION - If you reset the handheld to the factory default settings, the encryption key is deleted and the
handheld is no longer able to read any encrypted files on a memory card. This means that any files you have
encrypted are permanently locked and unreadable by any device. To avoid being unable to read previously
encrypted files, Trimble recommends that you use another device, such as an office computer, as the primary
location for storing important data and to control the encryption of important files.

To enable encryption of files as they are written to a memory card:

1.

Tap /Settings/ System/Encryption.

2. Select the Encrypt files when placed on a storage card check box.

Note – Encrypted files appear as ordinary files on the handheld they were encrypted on. If the
memory card is inserted in another device, the files appear with a .menc file extension and cannot
be opened.

To disable encryption, clear the Encrypt files when placed on a storage card check box.

Note – Disabling encryption does not remove encryption from any existing files on the memory
card, but ensures that new files placed onto the memory card are not encrypted.

To encrypt files that are already stored on a memory card:

1. Copy the files to the handheld’s internal memory or to an officecomputer.

2. Ensure encryption is enabled on the handheld.

3. Copy the files back to the memory card. The files are encrypted as they are written to the
memory card.

To remove encryption from files so they can be read by other devices:

1. Insert the memory card in the handheld and then connect the handheld to an office computer
(see Connecting to an officecomputer (page 44)).

2. Copy the encrypted files from the memory card to the officecomputer.

Trimble Geo 5T Handheld User Guide 24

3. To use the decrypted files on the handheld, copy the files from the officecomputer to the
handheld’s main memory.

4. To store the decrypted files on a memory card, ensure that encryption is not enabled on the
handheld and then copy the decrypted files from the office computer to the memory card.

Inserting and removing the SIM card

CAUTION - The SIM card and its contents can be easily damaged by scratches or bending. Use caution when

inserting or removing the card.

CAUTION - The presence of any dust or moisture in the SIM card slot may adversely affect the device and void
your Trimble warranty. To prevent dust or moisture entering the SIM card slot:
–When inserting or removing a SIM card, place the handheld on a dust-free indoor surface.

WARNING - Static electricity can harm electronic components inside the handheld. To prevent static damage,

discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of the electronic components inside your device,
such as a memory module. You can do so by touching an unpainted metal surface.
