TDS Recon Getting Started Manual page 6

Battery life varies greatly depending on the application and
environment. At moderate or high temperatures with no display light,
usage over 30 hours is possible. In typical use, with default display
light setting and two CompactFlash
expect 15 to 20 hours of battery life. At cold temperatures (-20C or
less) with heavy use of display light and/or non-memory CompactFlash
cards (e.g. wireless LAN), battery life may be only a few hours.
The keys to extended battery life are managing the display light,
keeping the batteries warm in cold environments, and using
CompactFlash cards that use power conservatively.
4. Align the touch screen
When the Recon fi rst turns on (or after a hard reset), the touch screen
will require calibration. Tap the screen to set it up. Using a stylus, tap
the targets fi rmly and accurately at each location until the screen is
aligned.
5. Turning your Recon on and off
One of the most convenient features of the Recon is "instant on".
There is no waiting for it to start up or shut down. To start working
immediately, press the power button. ("Instant on" does not occur
on the fi rst boot up.) When you have fi nished working, turn off your
Recon by pressing the power button.
6. Using the CF Expansion Slots
To use the CompactFlash expansion slots,
you must fi rst remove the CF-Cap
do this, unscrew the two screws on the top
of the CF-Cap. Slide the cap off the main
unit. Gently insert a CompactFlash card or
device into one of the two CF slots. Do not force the card into the
slot. Cards must be inserted with the face toward the display side of
the Recon. Replace the CF-Cap and tighten the screws to reseal.
Note: Be sure to reattach the CF-Cap when you are fi nished. The
Recon is NOT sealed when the cap is off. Water damage caused
by improper installation of the cap is not covered by warranty.
