Antenna Module is circular except for a flattened area. Insert the Antenna Module into
the antenna receptacle at the top of either the GPS Receiver Module or the UHF
Antenna Module. Make sure the base of the GPS Antenna Module is oriented so that
the flattened side of the antenna base is lined up with the flattened area of the
receptacle, and the module will easily slide into place. Once in place, twist the
threaded collar on the GPS Antenna Module until securely locked in place.

Power Module

The primary power source for the Z-Max is the Power Module (Figure 2.9). Inside the
Power Module are rechargeable lithium ion battery cells. The Max-Run Power Module
has a capacity of 8.8 amp-hours and should power the Z-Max for over 13 hours in
typical user scenarios . The Max-Lite Power Module is a lighter configuration that
provides 4.4 amp-hours of power. The Max-Lite Power Module is capable of powering
the receiver for over 6 hours in typical user scenarios.
The Power Module also contains a battery charger and other "smart" functionality to
provide usage information, monitor the battery while it's recharging, and advise the
user about battery maintenance. The Power Module does not require any cables; it
simply plugs into the left-hand side of the GPS Receiver Module. To plug in the
module, insert the small ledge of the Power Module into the rear of the GPS Receiver
Module housing first as shown in Figure 2.10. This will correctly align the module.
Using the ledge like a hinge, swing the module closed until the latch on the Power
Module clicks into place.

To help you keep track of battery life, the Power Module has a pushbutton and LED
indicators to provide a quick indication of the percentage of battery time remaining.
Each of the four lights represents about 25% of battery life. Four green lights indicate
the battery is fully charged (100%). One red light indicates that there is less than 25%
