General Battery Handling

Charging
The permissible temperature range for charging is between 0°C to +40°C/+32°F to
+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.
Operation/Discharging
• The batteries can be operated from −20 °C to +50 °C/−4 °F to +122 °F.
• Low operating temperatures reduce the capacity that can be drawn; high operating
temperatures reduce the service life of the battery.
Storage
• Remove batteries from the product and the charger before storing.
• After storage recharge batteries before using.
• Protect batteries from damp and wetness. Wet or damp batteries must be dried
before storing or use.
• The batteries can be stored from −20 °C to +50 °C/−4 °F to +122 °F.

You can charge the battery while it is inserted in the battery compartment.
Alternatively, remove the battery from the battery compartment before
charging it.

You cannot turn on the DS2000 while the battery is charging.
1. Connect the battery charger to the battery and to a mains socket.

2. While charging, the LED of the battery charger lights up orange.
When the battery is nearly charged, the LED turns yellow.
When the battery is fully charged, the LED turns green.

Requirements for Using a GPS Antenna with the DS2000

The DS2000 can be used with a GPS antenna to position the scan data in real-time
without the need to set up a measurement grid.
For using the DS2000 with a GPS antenna, the GPS antenna has to meet the following
requirements:
• Dual frequency (L1+L2).
• Positioning update greater than 5 Hz.
• RTK (Real-Time Kinematic): connection to a base station using radio link (UHF or
GSM) or connection to a Continuously Operating Reference Station (CORS) using
internet.
• NMEA output.

To connect the GPS antenna to the laptop/tablet, a serial cable (RS232) is
necessary. Alternatively, the GPS antenna can be connected using Bluetooth.
