Operating Principles

• The battery must be charged before using it for the first time because it is delivered
with an energy content as low as possible.
• The permissible temperature range for charging is between 0 °C and +40 °C/+32 °F
and +104 °F. For optimal charging, we recommend charging the batteries at a low
ambient temperature of +10 °C to +20 °C/+50 °F to +68 °F if possible.
• It is normal for the battery to become warm during charging. Using the chargers
recommended by Leica Geosystems, it is not possible to charge the battery once
the temperature is too high.
• For new batteries or batteries that have been stored for a long time (> three
months), it is effectual to make only one charge/discharge cycle.
• For Li-Ion batteries, a single discharging and charging cycle is sufficient. We recom-
mend carrying out the process when the battery capacity indicated on the charger
or on a Leica Geosystems product deviates significantly from the actual battery
capacity available.
• The batteries can be operated from • 20 °C to +55 °C/• 4 °F to +131 °F.
• Low operating temperatures reduce the capacity that can be drawn; high operating
temperatures reduce the service life of the battery.

Step Description

Turn CS field controller over to gain access to the battery compartment.
1. Push the slide fastener in the direction of the arrow with the open-lock
symbol.
2. Open the battery compartment.

Ensure that no water enters the battery compartment. IP67 applies
only with the battery compartment closed.
3. Pull the battery from the battery compartment.
4. Place the battery into the battery compartment with the Leica logo facing
to the top.
5. Close the battery compartment by pushing the slide fastener in the direction
of the arrow with the close-lock symbol.
