and one of the following operating systems:
l Windows® 7, Windows Vista®, or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack
3 or later
l Microsoft® ActiveSync® technology, or Windows Mobile® Device Center, available to
download from www.microsoft.com/
l An Internet connection for your computer (broadband is recommended)
If you intend to use the cellular data capability of your Geo 7X handheld, you will also need:
l A wireless data plan with a carrier that provides service in your area
l For some carriers, you may also need network credentials such as an APN (Access
Point Name), username, and password
NOTE – Applications or services that send or receive data over a cellular network may incur

Charging the battery
The Geo 7X handheld is powered by a removable rechargeable Lithium-ion battery pack.
The battery can be charged inside or outside the handheld.
WARNING – Before you use this product, make sure that you have read and
understood all safety requirements. Failure to follow these safety instructions could
result in fire, electric shock, or other injury, or damage to the Geo 7X handheld, laser

Important safety information, page 110.
If the battery has been stored for longer than six months, charge it before use. Trimble
recommends charging the battery for four hours to recharge it fully.
NOTE – Cold temperatures, or using Bluetooth wireless technology, Wi-Fi, or the cellularmodem
consumes additional battery power and so shortens battery life between charges.
Avoid keeping the battery at full charge at high temperatures. For more information, see
Important handling information, page 114.
Geo 7series User Guide | 27
2 Getting started
NOTE – The lifespan of the battery can be significantly shortened if power is constantly supplied to
the handheld. To avoid this issue, connect the handheld to an external power source only when the
battery requires charging. Once fully charged, disconnect the external power source and allow the
battery to discharge through normal use.
If the Geo 7X handheld is very low on power, it displays a red flashing LED warning on the
Power LED (see LEDstatus indicators, page 22).If the device does not receive power before
the battery charge drops below a minimum level, the device will auto-suspend to avoid
data loss.
Charging the battery inside the handheld
NOTE – The battery may charge slowly if the Geo 7X handheld is on and consuming power while
the battery is being charged. To reduce the amount of time it takes to charge the battery, turn off
unnecessary features and applications, or suspend the handheld while charging (see UsingSuspend
mode, page 49).
1. With the battery inside the handheld (see Inserting and removing the battery, page
29), connect the AC power adaptor to the power socket on the battery and then
connect the adaptor to mains power. An international adaptor kit is provided with the
handheld; select the adaptor suitable for your region.
2. Check that the notification LED on the handheld is solid orange, indicating that the
handheld is properly connected to the power source and the battery is charging.
The notification LED on the handheld indicates the battery power or charging status.
See LEDstatus indicators, page 22.
Charging the battery outside of the handheld
1. Connect the AC power adaptor to the power socket on the battery and then connect
the adaptor to mains power. An international adaptor kit is provided with the
handheld; select the adaptor suitable for your region.
2.
Check that the notification LED on the battery is solid orange, indicating that the
battery is properly connected to the power source and the battery is charging.
The notification LED on the battery indicates the battery charging status:
LED Description
Solid orange: Battery is charging.
Geo 7series User Guide | 28
