GNSS Safety Warning

The LT500T GNSS receivers tracks and utilizes signals from many space based satellite navigation

systems:

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the US Government which is solely

responsible for the accuracy and maintenance of the GPS network. Accuracy can also be

affected by bad satellite geometry and obstructions including buildings and tree canopy.

The GLONASS (GLObal NAvigation Satellite System), is a satellite navigation system

operated by the Russian Aerospace Defense Forces.

The Galileo System is the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) that is operated by the

European Union (EU) and European Space Agency (ESA)

BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) (also known as COMPASS or BeiDou-2) is a

system operated by CNSA (China National Space Administration.)

SBAS (Satellite Based Augmentation Services) including WAAS (USA), MSAS (Japan),

EGNOS (Europe), QZSS (Asia), and GAGAN (India) may also be utilized by the X91+ /

X900+for carrier-phase corrections, in addition to differential corrections.

Neither iGage Mapping Corporation nor CHC are responsible for nor warrant the viability of the

space segment portion of the GNSS system. The user is cautioned that they alone are responsible

for determining the suitability of the receivers to their task at hand.

Any of the GNSS system components can fail at any time. Be prepared for down time and

failures.

Battery Warnings

The battery is composed of Lithium-Ion type cells.

WARNING - Do not damage the rechargeable Lithium-ion battery. A damaged battery can cause

an explosion or fire, and can result in personal injury and property damage.

To prevent injury or damage:

Do not use or charge the battery if it appears to be discolored, warped, or leaking battery

fluid.

Do not expose the battery to fire, high temperature, or direct sunlight.

Do not immerse the battery in water.

Do not store the battery inside a vehicle during hot weather.

Do not drop or puncture the battery.

Do not open the battery or short-circuit its contacts.

Do not charge the batteries in aftermarket chargers, use only the supplied charger

module.

WARNING - Avoid contact with the rechargeable Lithium-ion battery if it appears to be

leaking. The battery fluid is extremely corrosive, and contact with it will result in personal

injury and/or property damage.

If battery fluid gets into your eyes, immediately rinse your eyes with clean water and seek

medical attention. Do not rub your eyes!

If battery fluid gets onto your skin or clothing, immediately use clean water to wash off

the battery fluid.

Checking the Battery Status

Because of transportation regulations, shipped batteries supplied with the TM500T will arrive at

30% charge or less.

You can check the battery status by removing the battery pack and pressing on the status button:

The relative charge of the battery will be shown by the four green LEDs:

< 25% Charge 1 Green LED

~ 50% Charge 2 Green LED

> 75% Charge 3 Green LED

> 95% Charge 4 Green LED

100% Charge 1 Green LED BLINKS

Battery status can also be determined by the battery icon at the top of the main menu screen:

Charging the Battery

Use the supplied wall transformer to charge the battery by plugging it into the charging hole on

the bottom of the cell pack:

The Red or Green LED above the status button will light when power is applied (battery pack is

plugged in.)

Red indicates charging

Green indicates ‘fully charged’

The battery when fully charged will provide up to 12-hours of use (depending on backlight

settings.) It typically will charge to 90% of full charge in 4-hours if the battery is removed from the

device.

The cells can be charged when inserted into the LT500T device, with the device OFF. If you

attempt to charge the battery while the device is ON, the device will be powered by the charger

and the battery will charge very slowly.

Factory Clear.)
