Step 2: Charging batteries, inserting battery and SIM card into
receiver, attaching quick release adapter and radio antenna
Charging the Lithium-ion battery
The rechargeable Lithium-ion battery is supplied partially charged. Before
using the battery for the rst time, charge it completely using the dualbattery charger (country-specic power supply and power cord kit sold
separately). The batteries come with charge battery indicator LEDs. Push
the button on the battery to check the battery charge status.
Charging takes approximately 3 hours at room temperature. If 2 batteries
are charging in the dual battery charger, the batteries will be charged
simultaneously.
C WARNING Ensure that nothing obstructs the vents in the back of the
charger and that the charger is placed on a hard, at and level surface, to
ensure that there is airow around the charger. Do not operate the battery
charger while it is in the transport case.
LED status indicator
Beside each slot are three
LED indicators (red, green, and yellow) to display the battery status:

Inserting the battery and SIM card into receiver
►
Align the arrows and on the battery and battery compartment
and then insert the battery as indicated in the picture above.
To remove the battery, slide the battery bail to the left.
►
Insert the SIM card with the contacts facing upward, as indicated by
the SIM card icon next to the SIM card slot.
To eject the SIM card, slightly push it in to trigger the spring-loaded
release mechanism.
B Tip –The SIM card is provided by your cellular network service
provider.
Attaching the quick release adapter and radio antenna
►
Push down the spring-loaded button of the quick release adapter and
then align the white dots on the bottom of the receiver and the quick
release adapter. Slide in the quick release adapter and then release
the button.
►

Step 3: Turning on the receiver
Power button
►
To turn on the receiver, press the power button.
All four LEDs light up, remain lit for 3 seconds and then turn o. The
power LED then immediately lights up again.
►
To turn o the receiver, hold the power button for 2 seconds and then
release it.
When holding down the power button, the battery LED remains lit, the
satellite LED lights up constantly and then turns o after 2 seconds.
After releasing the power button, the battery LED stays lit for about 5
seconds and then all LEDs turn o.
►
To clear the ephemeris le and reset the receiver to the factory
defaults, hold down the power button for 15 seconds.
The radio, Wi-Fi, and satellite LEDs turn o after 2 seconds but the
battery LED remains lit. After 15 seconds, the satellite LED lights up to
indicate that it is time to release the power button.
C CAUTION Resetting the receiver will permanently erase all data.
Download your data before resetting your receiver.
To delete application les, hold down the power button for 30 seconds.
The radio, Wi-Fi, and satellite LEDs turn o after 2 seconds but the
battery LED remains lit. After 15 seconds, the satellite LED lights up and
remains lit on for 15 seconds, then turns o to indicate that it is time to
release the power button. The battery LED remains lit for 15 seconds after
you release the Power button. The receiver then restarts.

Step 4: Connecting to a Trimble controller running the Trimble
Access eld software
You can use a Trimble R10 Model 2 receiver with any controller that is
running the Trimble Access software, for example, a TSC3 controller or
a Trimble Tablet. The receiver and controller can communicate using
Bluetooth® wireless technology so generally you do not need a cable
connection. If you do need a cable, refer to the Trimble R10 Model 2 GNSS Receiver User Guide for a list of all available cables for the receiver.
B Tip – To learn more about Bluetooth connections to a Trimble R
Series receiver, refer to the Trimble Access Help (General Survey) at
http://apps.trimbleaccess.com/help.
Step 5: Collecting GNSS data with Trimble Access eld software on a
Trimble controller in the eld
The Trimble R10 Model 2 system with Trimble Access eld software is
now ready to be used in the eld. Refer to the Trimble Access Help for
more information.
Calibrating the sensors
The Trimble R10 Model 2 receiver comes with integrated sensors, such as
the tilt sensor and magnetometer used for eBubble (electronic bubble)
and tilt compensation functionality. The sensors must be calibrated using
the Trimble Access software:
1. On the main screen of General Survey, select Instrument / eBubble
options.
2. On the eBubble options screen, press the Calib softkey.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to perform the Tilt Calibration,
Magnetometer Calibration, and Magnetometer Alignment.
For more information, refer to the Trimble Access Help.

Connecting to the oce computer
To communicate with the oce computer using a serial connection, you
can either connect the receiver using a serial cable (P/N 89851-00 or P/N
59046), or by using the USB cable (P/N 89852-00 or P/N 80751) and
then conguring a computer USB port as a virtual serial port.
Before you connect to the oce computer, ensure that the receiver
battery is fully charged.
Connecting to the receiver web interface
1. Turn on the receiver and wait for the last four digits of the receiver
serial number to appear under the available Wi-Fi networks on your
smart phone or oce computer. For example, Trimble GNSS xxxx
(where xxxx represents the last four digits of the receiver serial
number).
2. Select the receiver, open a web browser and then enter the following
IP address: http://192.168.142.1
The default login values for the receiver are as follows:
User Name: admin
Password: password
B Tip – Most web browsers for computers/laptops and smart
phones/PDAs support the receiver web interface.
