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.

Telecommunications & Internet Association (TIA)
Hearing Aids: Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the
event of such interference, you may want to consult your service provider, or call the
customer service line to discuss alternatives.
Pacemakers and Other Medical Devices: The Health Industry Manufacturers Association
recommends a minimum separation of six inches be maintained between a handheld
wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker.
These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and
recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. Persons with pacemakers should use
the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference. If you have any
reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn the phone OFF immediately.
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to
determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be
able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Safety information
Trimble Nomad 5 Handheld User Guide | 15
Turn the phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas
instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could
be sensitive to external RF energy.
SAR
This device complies with FCC and CE standards when used as designed.
Caring for your device
Cleaning
Turn off the device, and disconnect it from external power. Use a soft, dampened cloth
with either water or a diluted mild detergent. If a mild detergent is used, ensure all soap
residue is removed. Do not use chemical cleaners.
Touchscreen care
The Nomad 5 handheld is extremely rugged, and is designed to withstand extreme
conditions and harsh treatment, however taking proper care of the touchscreen will
prolong the life and ensure optimal display performance of the touchscreen of this
product. Excessive or prolonged exposure to abrasives, oil, dust, chemicals, and ultraviolet
light can affect the performance of your touchscreen over time.
To help protect the screen:
Clean it frequently. Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe the screen. You can dampen the
cloth with water or an eyeglass cleaner. If the display is very dirty, it can be washed off
under a gently running tap.
WARNING – Make sure that all ports and doors are fully closed, and that the
device is not connected to an external power supply. Do not use chemical or
abrasive cleaners.
Keep it covered when not in use. Store the Nomad 5 handheld in a carry case or
pouch while you are in transit or not using it.
Keep it out of the sun when not in use. Do not store the Nomad 5 handheld in direct
sunlight for a long time unnecessarily. Ultraviolet light and excessive heat from sun-
loading heat can damage the display.
Use proper touchscreen tools. Use either fingers or the Nomad 5 handheld's stylus
pen, or other devices specifically designed for use with capacitive touchscreens to
operate the touchscreen of this device. The use of ballpoint pens, metal tools or other
Safety information
Trimble Nomad 5 Handheld User Guide | 16
sharp objects to operate the touchscreen may scratch and/or damage the surface of
the touchscreen.
Avoid drops, tumbles, and abrasives. The Nomad 5 handheld is designed to resist
damage for drops up to 122 cm (4 feet). However, you should protect the display from
impact, pressure, and abrasive substances that can scratch it or crack it. The device
should not be dropped unnecessarily. Use the screen protectors to keep the
touchscreen clean and protected, following the instructions provided on the screen
protector packaging.
Battery care
Use and storage temperature: Lithium-ion batteries are sensitive to high temperatures,
so keep the device's batteries out of direct sun for long periods, and do not leave batteries
in a hot car, especially on a dashboard in full sun or other environments where
temperatures can exceed +70 °C (+158 °F) Battery life can be shortened if stored or
operated outside of these temperature ranges. Recommended storage temperature is at
room temperature (~ +20 °C
/
+68 °F). When you are using the device or charging the
batteries, it is normal for the device and batteries to get warm.
If the interior temperature of the device exceeds normal operating temperatures (for
example, in a hot car or in direct sunlight for extended periods of time), you may
experience the following as it attempts to regulate its temperature automatically:
The device stops charging.
If the device cannot regulate its internal temperature, it may go into a Sleep state until it
cools.
Move the device to a cooler location out of direct sunlight and wait a few minutes before
trying to use the device again.
Charging: Recharge the battery any time; the battery does not need to be empty or low
before you recharge it. However, it is best to let the battery run to below 10 percent at least
once a month before you recharge it. Battery recharging is supported at temperatures
between 0 °C and +45 °C (+32 °F and +113 °F). Use only the manufacturer designated
charging accessories to recharge the batteries.
Other environmental conditions: The batteries are sealed from water and dust, and are
tested for protection from drops from heights up to 122 cm (4 feet). However to prolong
the life of the battery, dry it off with a cloth if it becomes wet, do not intentionally submerge
the battery, and take care to avoid unnecessary drops, mechanical shocks, and vibrations.
The Nomad 5 handheld is designed to work in ambient temperatures between -30 °C and
+60 °C (-22 °F and +140 °F) and to be stored in temperatures between -40 °C and +70 °C (-
40 °F and +148 °F). Avoid exposing the device to dramatic changes in temperature or
humidity.

2.
Clean the touchscreen with an alcohol wipe, clean damp cloth, or similar.
3.
Polish and dry the screen to remove any dust with the lint-free cleaning cloth supplied.
4.
Remove the protective film from the screen protector.
5.
Align the screen protector with the top of the glass display. Use the edge of the keypad
as a guide. The screen protector should line up evenly with the edge of the keypad and
the edges of the device.
6.
Carefully lay the screen protector down on the screen. If you make a mistake and the
glass looks off-center, you can gently lift it up and realign it. Then, once the protector is
on the screen, give it a soft press in the center and allow the adhesive surface to grip to
the screen naturally

Making your battery last longer
The Android 8.1 operating system includes a number of features to help you get the
maximum run time out of your battery. Here are some practical suggestions that you can
do to maximize the operating time of your Nomad 5 handheld:
Use battery saver mode. Battery saver mode can help make your Nomad 5 battery last
longer when it is running low. This mode reduces system performance and limits
vibration, location services, and most background data use.
NOTE – Battery saver turns off automatically when your device is charging.
Keep battery optimization on. To have apps use your device’s battery only when they
need to, keep battery optimization on for all apps. Battery optimization is on by default.
Stretch a low battery’s power. To help a dying battery last until you can plug in your
phone or tablet, first turn on battery saver mode. Often, battery saver is all you’ll need
for a low battery’s power to last until you can get to a charger. Stretch your remaining

battery power with temporary changes to your settings/usage.
TIP – You'll want to turn your features back on when you recharge.
Avoid high-drain activities (for example, heavy screen use, heavy data processing).
Limit connectivity (for example, turn on Airplane mode, turn off Bluetooth). See
Using wireless networks, page 40.
Limit location data (for example, turn on GPS battery saving mode, turn off
Location services).
Limit automatic syncing (for example, turn off auto-sync for your Google account,
turn off auto-sync for certain Google apps).
Unplug USB devices. Many USB devices use power just by being connected. If you use
a USB flash drive, unplug it when you are not using it.
Turn off EMPOWER modules if you will not be using them for a prolonged period.
Refer to the module documentation available here:
www.trimble.com/empowermodules.
Turn off the handheld computer when you are not using it. See Turning off the
device, page 31.

EMPOWER module issues
My field software doesn’t recognize my EMPOWER module
Check module contacts and attachment
It is possible the contacts between the module and the device are dirty, or that the
module is not attached correctly. Ensure that the module contacts are clean and that
the screws are tightened correctly.
Your field software is not configured to communicate with the EMPOWER module
Check that your field software supports the EMPOWER module directly and that the
field software is configured to talk to the EMPOWER module directly or through the
correct COM port.
Refer to the Trimble EMPOWER modules documentation here

Wireless connectivity issues
Wi-Fi speed is slow
Your network is running slow for all devices.
You should first check to see whether your network is slow on another device. Can you

device? Try running a Network Speed Test to ensure your Internet connection is
functioning normally.
Your Wi-Fi signal is weak.
Look at the wireless network Wireless network icon icon in the taskbar.
This icon
shows your current signal strength. If the icon is partially dimmed, move
your device closer to your wireless router to see if the signal improves. If your router is
broadcasting on both a 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequency, try connecting to a different
frequency. In general, a network operating on the 5GHz frequency will be faster and
less susceptible to interference, but will have a shorter range than a 2.4GHz network.
Power and battery issues
Battery will not charge
The battery is overheated, or too cold.
The battery will charge between 0 °C and 45 °C (32 °F and 113 °F). If you have been
using or storing the battery and/or device in a particularly hot or cold environment, the
battery may be outside the safe charging temperature range. Sensors in the battery
will prevent the battery from charging until its temperature returns to a normal level.
The battery is not installed correctly.
If the battery is not installed correctly in the device or the battery charger, it may not
have a proper connection and will not charge.
The battery terminals are dirty or corroded.
If the terminals of the battery are dirty or corroded, it may not have a proper
connection and will not charge.
Device will not start up
The battery does not have enough charge to power the device.
Remove the battery from the device, and press-hold the charge indicator button on
the battery. At least one charge LED must be lit up to indicate that a battery has
enough power for the device to start on battery power. If no LEDs light up on a battery,
attach the device to an external power source, or swap the battery for a charged
battery, then try again.
The battery is not correctly installed.

The device may not be receiving power from the battery if it is not installed properly.
Remove the battery, then replace it correctly, pressing down on both corners until it
clicks into place. Slide the battery lock to the lock position (down)
Device suddenly turned off during use
Make sure you are not accidentally pressing the Power key.
The Power key is located in the top left side of the device. Make sure that while gripping
the device you are not accidentally pressing the Power key, which places the device in
suspend mode.

If the battery charge level gets too low, the device will automatically go into a hibernate
mode to prevent loss of data. Remove the battery from the device, and check the
battery level by pressing-holding the battery level button on the battery. If the battery
charge is too low, connect the device to external power, or swap the battery for a
charged battery.
If you regularly run out of battery power while in the field, consider carrying a spare
battery with you. The device supports hot-swapping of the battery, which means that
the device will keep running for a few minutes while you remove the battery and
replace it with another.
Device shut-down when hot-swapping the battery
Hot-swap battery is not sufficiently charged. The hot-swap back-up battery allows you
to change the main device battery for a charged one without shutting the device down.
To function correctly, the hot-swap battery needs at least X minutes of charging time
before it can work properly. If you attempt multiple hot-swaps without allowing the
back-up battery to recharge, your device may shut-down when the battery is removed.
Restarting or resetting the operating system
If your device becomes unresponsive, and the troubleshooting guide does not resolve the
problem, you need to restart or reset your device.
Restarting your (unresponsive) device
If your device is no longer responding to touchscreen or keyboard input, you may need to
force it to restart by removing power from the system.
NOTE –
Restarting the system by holding down the Power key removes power to the CPU. Any
unsaved files and settings will be lost.
