Lift the transport latch to open the terminal.2. Flip up the antenna module.You can now access the keypad and connectors on the EXPLORER 710.To detach the antenna (optional)You have two options for using the EXPLORER 710 antenna:•Attached. You can go through the pointing process with the antenna and transceiver attached as one unit. This means you have to move the entire terminal in order to point the antenna towards the BGAN satellite. If you choose this option, make sure you connect all cables including the short antenna cable, and enter the PIN, before pointing the antenna. If not, you may accidently move the antenna when you connect cables or enter the PIN.•Detached. You can detach the antenna module and use it as a separate antenna. With the antenna separated from the transceiver, it is easier to use the transceiver without accidently moving the antenna. Also, you can choose the optimum location for the antenna while keeping the transceiver in a more comfortable location.ImportantDo not place the transceiver in front of the antenna module!

Without port forwarding it would not be possible to contact the server from the Internet.We recommend using a static public IP address for the terminal in order to provide easy access to the terminal. To use the static IP address, it must be included in your subscription and you must set the APN source to SIM default. For details, see User group settings (LAN and WLAN) on page 52.The following example shows how to allow Internet access to a mail server (smtp) connected to the terminal. The mail server in this example has the IP address 192.168.0.100.1. From the Control panel , select Port forwarding.2. Select Forward port to add a new port forwarding.3.

![Chapter 5: Maintenance and troubleshooting98-140012-DraftC1 Maintenance 74MaintenanceNormal use of the batteryIt is recommended not to partially charge/discharge the battery several times in a row. Partial charging/discharging affects the accuracy of the capacity measurement.Never leave the battery fully discharged for a longer period of time. If the battery is not to be used for a shorter period of time (1 month), charge the battery to minimum 20 to 30% and remove it from the EXPLORER 710. If the Battery is stored for more than a month, see Storage at the end of this section.To recharge batteriesOne battery insertedTo recharge the battery, connect external power to the DC input of the EXPLORER 710 while the battery is inserted. For details on how to apply external power, see DC input on page 14.Two batteries connectedYou may connect an extra, external EXPLORER 710 battery for extra capacity. When external power is applied to the EXPLORER 710, both batteries are charged as follows:One battery is charged to 80%. Then the other battery is charged to 80%, and finally they are both charged the last bit up to 100%. This way both batteries are charged in the shortest possible time.The display and the web interface of the EXPLORER 710 show battery status such as which battery is currently charging and the battery level.Draft](https://usermanual.wiki/Thrane-and-Thrane-A-S/EXPLORER-710/User-Guide-2287875-Page-85.png)
![Chapter 5: Maintenance and troubleshooting98-140012-DraftC1 Maintenance 75To connect an extra, external EXPLORER 710 batteryIf you are not close to a power source, you may want to use an extra EXPLORER 710 battery as backup. Do as follows:1. Acquire an extra EXPLORER 710 battery with a dedicated EXPLORER 710 Hot Swap Cable (part number 403720B-010).2. Connect the dedicated cable between the external EXPLORER 710 battery and the Ext. Battery connector on the EXPLORER 710.The EXPLORER 710 continues normal operation on the inserted battery until it runs out of power.3. When the inserted battery runs out of power, the EXPLORER 710 switches to the external battery and continues normal operation.4. If you have a third charged battery ready, you can now take out the inserted battery and replace it with the new one, without interrupting the operation of the EXPLORER 710.Accurate display of the battery capacityTo ensure accurate display of the battery capacity, it is recommended to run a “learning cycle” for every 100 recharge/discharge and at first time use. The learning cycle must be performed at 20°C-30°C.A learning cycle is performed as follows:1. Fully charge the battery.2. Remove external power and fully discharge the battery:Use the EXPLORER 710 and/or leave it on until it turns off automatically. This way the EXPLORER 710 “learns” the complete capacity of the battery. Note that it may take several hours to discharge the battery if it is not in use.3. Recharge the battery.ImportantBefore removing the empty battery, click/select the battery symbol in the web interface or the display and make sure that the EXPLORER 710 is actually running on the external battery.Draft](https://usermanual.wiki/Thrane-and-Thrane-A-S/EXPLORER-710/User-Guide-2287875-Page-86.png)
![Chapter 5: Maintenance and troubleshooting98-140012-DraftC1 Maintenance 76StorageDo not leave the battery inserted in the EXPLORER 710 during storage.
