For kinematic use, be sure to select measurement positions with best satellite reception possible. Use the instrument in location which is free of obstructions such as trees, buildings or mountains for best measurement results. Centred instrument Centre the instrument precisely over the target positions. 3.2 3.2.1 Batteries Operating Principles First-time Use/Charg-

ing Batteries Operation / Discharg-

ing 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 from 0 C to +40 C/

+32 F to +104 F. For optimal charging, we recommend charging the bat-

teries 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 recommend 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. 3.2.2 Battery for GG04 plus Change attery tep-

matically to the Zeno Connect installation from the Apple App Store (iOS). Start Zeno Connect to configure and to provide correction data to the antenna. The high accuracy position is then automatically used by any location aware app running on the Apple device. For more detailed information about Zeno Connect settings and antenna con-

figuration, refer to the respective documentation. are In case further GNSS metadata are required, some apps allow you to establish a direct connection to the GG04 plus antenna by a SPP Bluetooth connection.

Operation 25 3.5 Description Service activation The GG04 plus GNSS metadata feature is restricted and it might not yet be possible in your app to connect to the additional SPP Bluetooth port of the antenna. If this feature is needed, ask the app developer to contact the Leica Zeno team for approval and integration guidance

(zeno.support@leica-geosystems.com). Correction Service Spot Lite and Spot Prime (PPP) Spot Lite and Spot Prime are correction services supported by the GG04 plus antenna. Both are subscription services with the correction data being received from a satellite. Therefore, this service is an ideal solution for precise applications in areas where mobile data connection is unavailable or unreliable and real-time high accuracy is necessary. With the correction service, the position accuracy will be enhanced autono-

mously after a necessary convergence time. 10 cm and better level for Spot Prime. 60 cm and better level with the Spot Lite service. The convergence phase can take up to 30 minutes to have a converged solu-

tion with the Spot Prime option and up to seven minutes for Spot Lite. An L1/L2 option is necessary to use the different Spot options. After ordering the subscription service, activate the respective Spot option once within 30 days of the order date. To complete the activation process, switch on the antenna and leave it running in very good GNSS conditions for up to three hours. A stable tracking of one of the PPP satellites is necessary for the initial activation. Once the activation is completed, a corrected position by the Spot option is possible. Service usage After the initial activation, the Spot option can be activated like any other cor-

rection service. After activation, the convergence period begins, where the position accuracy is gradually improving over time until the best possible posi-

tion accuracy is achieved. The tracking of at least one correction satellite is necessary to receive a correc-

ted GNSS position, during both the convergence period and spot usage. 26 Operation 4 4.1 Transport in a road vehicle Shipping Care and Transport Transport Never carry the product loose in a road vehicle, as it can be affected by shock and vibration. Always carry the product in its container, original packaging or equivalent and secure it. When transporting the product by rail, air or sea, always use the complete orig-

inal Leica Geosystems packaging, container and cardboard box, or its equiva-

lent, to protect against shock and vibration. Shipping, transport of batteries When transporting or shipping batteries, the person responsible for the prod-

uct must ensure that the applicable national and international rules and regula-

tions are observed. Before transportation or shipping, contact your local pas-

senger or freight transport company. 4.2 Product Li-Ion batteries Storage Respect the temperature limits when storing the equipment, particularly in summer if the equipment is inside a vehicle. Refer to "5 Technical Data" for information about temperature limits. Refer to "5 Technical Data" for information about storage temperature range. 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. A storage temperature range of 0 C to +30 C / +32 F to +86 F in a dry environment is recommended to minimize self-discharging of the battery. At the recommended storage temperature range, batteries containing a 40% to 50% charge can be stored for up to one year. After this storage period the batteries must be recharged. 4.3 Product and accesso-

ries Cleaning and Drying Use only a clean, soft, lint-free cloth for cleaning. If necessary, moisten the cloth with water or pure alcohol. Do not use other liquids; these may attack the polymer components. Damp products Dry the product, the container, the foam inserts and the accessories at a tem-

perature not greater than 40 C/104 F and clean them. Remove the battery Care and Transport 27 cover and dry the battery compartment. Do not repack until everything is dry. Always close the container when using in the field. 12542_002 Cables and plugs Keep plugs clean and dry. Blow away any dirt lodged in the plugs of the con-

necting cables. 28 Care and Transport 5 5.1 Satellite reception Technical Data Tracking Characteristics GG04 plus Multi-frequency Instrument channels Supported signals Depending on the satellite systems and signals configured, a maxi-
