Product Limited Warranty Information For applicable product Limited Warranty information, please refer to the Limited Warranty Card included with this Trimble product, or consult your local Trimble authorized dealer. Product Extended Limited Warranty Information For applicable product Extended Limited Warranty information, please refer to the Limited Warranty Card included with this Trimble product, or consult your Trimble dealer. Notices Class B Statement Notice to Users. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communication. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Changes and modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer or registrant of this equipment can void your authority to operate this equipment under Federal Communications Commission rules.

Type approval
Type approval, or acceptance, covers technical parameters of the equipment related to emissions that can cause interference. Type approval is granted to the manufacturer of the transmission equipment, independent from the operation or licensing of the units. Some countries have unique technical requirements for operation in particular radio-modem frequency bands. To comply with those requirements, Trimble may have modified your equipment to be granted Type approval. Unauthorized modification of the units voids the Type approval, the warranty, and the operational license of the equipment.

DO NOT operate the transmitter when someone is 20 cm (7.8 inches) of the antenna. DO NOT collocate (place within 20 cm) the radio antenna with any other transmitting device. DO NOT operate the transmitter unless all RF connectors are secure and any open connectors are properly terminated. DO NOT operate the equipment near electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere. All equipment must be properly grounded according to Trimble installation instructions for safe operation. All equipment should be serviced only by a qualified technician.
04.2
CAUTION For your own safety, and in terms of the RF Exposure requirements of the FCC, always observe the precautions listed here. - Always maintain a minimum separation distance of 20 cm (7.8 inches) between yourself and the radiating antenna on the Trimble R8 GNSS or the Trimble R6 radio-modem. - Do not collocate (place within 20 cm) the radio antenna with any other transmitting device.

Installing antennas
CAUTION For your own safety, and in terms of the RF Exposure requirements of the FCC, always observe these precautions: - Always maintain a minimum separation distance of 20 cm (7.8 inches) between yourself and the radiating antenna. - Do not collocate (place within 20cm) the radio antenna with any other transmitting device.
This device has been designed to operate with the antennas listed below. UHF Antennas not included in this list, or having a gain greater than 5 dBi, are strictly prohibited for use with this device. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms. GSM Antennas having a gain greater than 3 dBi ( for mobile applications) are strictly prohibited for use with this device. The antennas that can be used (country dependent) with the 450 MHz radio are 0 dBi and 5 dBi whip antennas. The antenna that can be used with the GSM radio is the 0 dBi whip antenna. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that permitted for successful communication.

Welcome to the TrimbleR8 GNSS and R6/5800 GPS Receivers User Guide. This manual describes how to install, set up, and use a Trimble R8 GNSS receiver or a Trimble R6/5800 II GPS receiver. Unless otherwise specified, the receiver refers to all receivers covered in this User Guide. Note To determine if you have a 5800 II GPS receiver, look underneath for a label that shows the part number and the product name. Even if you have used other Global Positioning System (GPS) products before, Trimble recommends that you spend some time reading this manual to learn about the special features of your receiver. If you are not familiar with GPS, visit our website for an interactive look at Trimble and GPS at www.trimble.com Trimble assumes that you are familiar with the Windows operating system and know how to use a mouse, select options from menus and dialogs, make selections from lists, and refer to online help.
