l Avoid drops, tumbles, and abrasives. The Nomad 5 handheld is designed to resist

damage for drops up to 180 cm (6 feet). However, you should protect the display from impact, pressure, and abrasive substances that can scratch it or crack it. The device

Trimble Nomad 5 Handheld User Guide |15

Safety information

should not be dropped unnecessarily. Use the screen protectors to keep the touchscreen clean and protected, following the instructions provided on the screen protector packaging.

Battery care

Use and storage temperature: Lithium-ion batteries are sensitive to high temperatures, so keep the device's batteries out of direct sun for long periods, and do not leave batteries in a hot car, especially on a dashboard in full sun or other environments where temperatures can exceed +70 °C (+158 °F) Battery life can be shortened if stored or operated outside of these temperature ranges. Recommended storage temperature is at room temperature (~ +20 °C / +68 °F). When you are using the device or charging the batteries, it is normal for the device and batteries to get warm.

If the interior temperature of the device exceeds normal operating temperatures (for example, in a hot car or in direct sunlight for extended periods of time), you may experience the following as it attempts to regulate its temperature automatically:

l The device stops charging.

l If the device cannot regulate its internal temperature, it may go into a Sleep state until it

cools.

Move the device to a cooler location out of direct sunlight and wait a few minutes before trying to use the device again.

Charging: Recharge the battery any time; the battery does not need to be empty or low before you recharge it. However, it is best to let the battery run to below 10 percent at least once a month before you recharge it. Battery recharging is supported at temperatures between 0 °C and +45 °C (+32 °F and +113 °F). Use only the manufacturer designated charging accessories to recharge the batteries.

Other environmental conditions: The batteries are sealed from water and dust, and are tested for protection from drops from heights up to 122 cm (4 feet). However to prolong the life of the battery, dry it off with a cloth if it becomes wet, do not intentionally submerge the battery, and take care to avoid unnecessary drops, mechanical shocks, and vibrations.

The Nomad 5 handheld is designed to work in ambient temperatures between -30 °C and +60 °C (-22 °F and +140 °F) and to be stored in temperatures between -40 °C and +70 °C (40 °F and +148 °F). Avoid exposing the device to dramatic changes in temperature or humidity.

need to, keep Battery optimization on for all apps. Battery optimization is on by default.

To specify battery optimization for any apps, go to Settings / Battery, then tap / Battery optimization.

l Stretch a low battery’s power. To help a dying battery last until you can plug in your

phone or tablet, first turn on Battery saver mode. Often, battery saver is all you’ll need for a low battery’s power to last until you can get to a charger. Stretch your remaining battery power with temporary changes to your settings/usage.

TIP – You'll want to turn your features back on when you recharge.

l Avoid high-drain activities (for example, heavy screen use, heavy data processing).

l Limit connectivity (for example, turn on Airplane mode, turn off Bluetooth). See

Using wireless networks, page 40.

l Limit location data (for example, turn on GPS battery saving mode, turn off

Location services).

l Limit automatic syncing (for example, turn off auto-sync for your Google account,

turn off auto-sync for certain Google apps).

l Unplug USB devices. Many USB devices use power just by being connected. If you use

a USB flash drive, unplug it when you are not using it.

l Turn off EMPOWER modules if you will not be using them for a prolonged period. Refer

to the module documentation available here: www.trimble.com/empowermodules.

l Turn off the handheld when you are not using it. See Turning off the device, page 31.

EMPOWER module issues

My field software doesn’t recognize my EMPOWER module

l Check module contacts and attachment.

It is possible the contacts between the module and the device are dirty, or that the module is not attached correctly. Ensure that the module contacts are clean and that the screws are tightened correctly.

l Your field software is not configured to communicate with the EMPOWER module.

Check that your field software supports the EMPOWER module directly and that the field software is configured to talk to the EMPOWER module directly or through the correct COM port.

Wireless connectivity issues

Wi-Fi speed is slow

l Your network is running slow for all devices.

You should first check to see whether your network is slow on another device. Can you connect to your wireless network and browse the web at normal speeds from another device? Try running a Network Speed Test to ensure your Internet connection is functioning normally.

l Your Wi-Fi signal is weak.

Look at the wireless network Wireless network icon icon in the taskbar.

This iconin the Status bar shows the current Wi-Fi signal strength. If the icon is partially dimmed, move your device closer to your wireless router to see if the signal improves. If your router is broadcasting on both a 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequency, try connecting to a different frequency. In general, a network operating on the 5GHz frequency will be faster and less susceptible to interference, but will have a shorter range than a 2.4GHz network.

Power and battery issues

Battery will not charge

l The battery is overheated, or too cold.

The battery will charge between 0 °C and 45 °C (32 °F and 113 °F). If you have been using or storing the battery and/or device in a particularly hot or cold environment, the battery may be outside the safe charging temperature range. Sensors in the battery will prevent the battery from charging until its temperature returns to a normal level.

l The battery is not installed correctly.

If the battery is not installed correctly in the device or the battery charger, it may not have a proper connection and will not charge.

l The battery terminals are dirty or corroded.

If the terminals of the battery are dirty or corroded, it may not have a proper connection and will not charge.
