2.9 Absolute Power Off mode

The Trimble Site Mobile features a battery cut-off mode that enables the device
to enter the absolute lowest power mode possible, even lower than the
SHUTDOWN power state. In this mode, the draw on the battery is less than 20
uA.

The primary purpose for this mode is to prolong the shelf life of the battery
while the product is between the production factory and the customer. A
secondary purpose is to ensure the device is completely powered down before
shipping the product via air freight, or when putting the product into storage for
an extended period, typically longer than a week.

Care of the touchscreen

Use only your finger, the T41 stylus or other stylus devices specifically designed
for use with capacitive touchscreens.

The use of ballpoint pens, nails or other sharp objects to operate the
touchscreen will scratch and/or damage the device. Keep the touchscreen clean
by gently wiping the display, using a soft, dampened cloth with either clean
water or glass cleaner. Use a screen protector at all times, and change the screen
protector according to manufacturer recommendations.

Do not use abrasive cleaners directly on the display. Doing so may void your
warranty. Use the screen protectors included with the device to keep the
touchscreen clean and protected, following the instructions provided on the
screen protector package.

Mechanical shock

The device is designed to resist damage for drops up to 4 ft (1.22 meters).
However, you should protect the display from impact, pressure, or abrasive
substances that can scratch it or crack it. The device should not be dropped
unnecessarily.

Environmental considerations

The device’s rugged design allows you to run your device in harsh outdoor

environments. Here are some considerations that will help you get the most out
of your device when working in very wet, hot or cold conditions.

Water: This device is designed to IP65 (yellow units) or IP68 (grey units). IPx5 is
defined as resistant to driving rain and water spray. IPx8 is defined as resistant
to submersion in water up to 1 meter deep for up to 2 hours.

WARNING: Removal of the back case screws could cause leakage and will void
your warranty.

Trimble Site Mobile

User Manual

NOTE: Although an optional accessory for the port cover is available and the
audio jack has a protective cover, these are not required to maintain the seal
against water. The covers are intended to keep mud, sand and other materials
from blocking these ports.

Temperature range: The operational temperature range is from -22 °F to +144 °F
(-30 °C to +60 °C). Although the device is designed to be rugged, do not leave it
in direct sunlight in excessive heat or in a vehicle in the sunlight for extended
periods as the internal temperature may exceed the operating or storage
temperature limits.

Batteries perform best at room temperature. The battery has a stable capacity as
temperatures rise; however, the colder the temperature, the greater the
reduction in available battery capacity. Under very cold conditions (-4 °F / -20°C
and below), the battery capacity is noticeably reduced. To improve the battery
performance in very cold conditions, consider increasing the load on the battery,
such as by adjusting the backlight to full brightness. Increasing the battery load
causes the battery to generate heat, thus warming the battery and improving
the performance. There are limits to how hard to push the battery before you
reduce the run-time instead of increasing it.

3.9 Safe Use of your Device

Repair: Do not attempt to dismantle the device for repair. There are no
user-serviceable parts inside. For service, use the contact details listed on the
cover of this manual or contact your local dealer.

Battery safety: Lithium-ion polymer batteries are classified by the U. S. Federal
Government as non-hazardous waste and are safe for disposal in the normal
municipal waste stream except where prohibited by local or regional regulations.
These batteries contain recyclable materials and are accepted for recycling.

6.7 Working with GPS

Tap > Settings > System > System Information > Wireless to see if your
device has GPS installed. COM2 is the dedicated hardware port for the built-in
GPS (COM1 is dedicated to the external 9-pin).

The GPS is compatible with applications that accept the NMEA position
information using a default baud rate of 38400.

GPS settings:

If you are using only one GPS-aware application, these settings do not need to be

changed. However, to use multiple GPS-aware applications, tap > Settings >
System > GPS and select the following tabs:

 Access: The GPS Intermediate Driver (GPSID) allows multiple

applications to access the GPS receiver. If the check box is
unchecked, the GPSID is disabled.

 Hardware: COM2 is the hardware port dedicated for the built-in

GPS. Verify that COM2 is selected. The internal GPS
communicates at 38400 baud by default. If it has been modified by a
third-party program, adjust to match the receiver baud rate.

 Programs: Programs that use GPS need to know which COM port to

use to access GPS data. When using more than one GPS-aware
application, the same GPSID port must be used in each application.
Ensure that the COM port on the GPS-aware application(s) is set to
the same GPSID port as shown in the Programs tab of the GPS
applet. The program port must be a different port than the hardware
port. By default, the GPS program port is COM3 and should not be
modified unless directed by Technical Support.

NOTE: Some GPS-aware applications may not communicate over GPS program
ports.

energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. 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 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.

Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals

Your device contains a radio transmitter and receiver. The radiated output
power is far below the international radio frequency exposure limits. These
limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF
energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on the safety
standards previously set by international standards bodies:

 American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.1-1992.
