Safety information
Before you use your Trimble product, make sure that you have read and understood all safety requirements.
WARNING – This alert warns of a potential hazard which, if not avoided, could result in severe injury or even
death.
CAUTION – This alert warns of a potential hazard or unsafe practice that could result in minor injury or property
damage or irretrievable data loss.
NOTE – An absence of specic alerts does not mean that there are no safety risks involved.
Use and care
This product is designed to withstand the rough treatment and tough environment that typically occurs in construction
applications. However, the receiver is a high-precision electronic instrument and should be treated with reasonable care.
CAUTION – Operating or storing the receiver outside the specied temperature range can damage it.
Regulations and safety
Some receiver models with base station capability contain an internal radio-modem for transmission or can transmit
through an external data communications radio. Regulations regarding the use of the 403 MHz to 473 MHz radio-
modems vary greatly from country to country. In some countries, the unit can be used without obtaining an end-user
licence. Other countries require end-user licensing. For licensing information, consult your local Trimble dealer.
NOTE – The R580 GNSS device can not transmit but it can receive RF signal in the 403 MHz to 473 MHz frequency
range.
All Trimble receiver models described in this documentation are capable of transmitting data through Bluetooth and
Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n wireless technology.
Bluetooth and Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n wireless technology radio-modems operate in licence-free bands.
Before operating a Trimble receiver, determine if authorisation or a licence to operate the unit is required in your country.
It is the responsibility of the end user to obtain an operator's permit or licence for the receiver for the location or country
of use.

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 modied your equipment to be
granted type approval.
Unauthorised modication of the units voids the type approval, the warranty, and the operational licence of the
equipment.
Exposure to radio frequency radiation
R580 (with internal 450 MHz radio operating only in receiver mode, not in transmitter mode).
For 450 MHz radio
Safety. Exposure to RF energy is an important safety consideration. The FCC has adopted a safety standard for human
exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated equipment as a result of its actions
in General Docket 79-114 on March 13, 1986 and KDB447498, RF Exposure Procedures and Equipment Authorisation
Policies For Mobile and Portable Devices.
Proper use of this radio modem results in exposure below government limits. The following precautions are
recommended:
• DO NOT co-locate the radio antenna with any other transmitting antenna.
• 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 qualied technician.
For licence-free Bluetooth and Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n
CAUTION – For your own safety, always observe these precautions:
- For Bluetooth and Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n - Always maintain a minimum separation distance of 20 cm (7.9 inches)
between yourself and the radiating antenna.
WARNING – The GNSS and its cabling should be installed in accordance with all national and local electrical
codes, regulations, and practices. The cabling should be installed where they will not become energised as a result
of falling nearby power lines, nor be mounted where they are subjected to over-voltage transients, particularly
lightning. Such installations require additional protective means that are detailed in national and local electrical
codes.
Trimble receiver internal radios have been designed to operate with the antennas listed below. Antennas not
included in this list are strictly prohibited for use with this device. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be an approved Trimble
antenna, so that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that permitted for successful
communication.
