h
Charging Fully charged
i
Charge batteries when battery symbol is flashing. While charging, the device may heat up. This is normal and should not affect the device’s lifespan or performance. If the battery gets hotter than 40°C / 104°F, the charger stops. At a recommended storage temperature of -20°C to +30°C
(-4°F to +86°F), batteries containing a 50% to 100% charge can be stored up to 1 year. After this storage period the batteries must be recharged. To save energy, unplug the charger when not in use.
Charge the battery before using it for the first time. Use the provided cable to charge the battery.
Plug the small end of the cable into the port of the device, and plug the end of the charger into an electrical socket. Select the appro­priate connector for your country. The device c annot be used wh ile it is charging.
The computer can also be used to charge the device, but this takes more time. If the device is connected to the computer via USB cable, you can download or delete the gallery. It is not possible to upload any data.
When you charge the battery, the following icons show the status:
ENInstrument Set-up
CAUTION
Connecting the charger improperly may cause serious damage to the device. Any damage caused by misuse is not covered by the warranty. Use only Leica-approved chargers, batteries, and cables. Unapproved chargers or cables can cause the battery to explode or damage the device.
If the device is connected to the computer via USB cable, you can download or delete the gallery. It is not possible to upload any data.

To avoid damaging the touch screen, do not tap it with anything sharp or do not apply excessive pressure to it with your fingertips.
Tapping
Tap on the display to open an on­screen button or to make a selection. Tapping on the icon in the middle of the bottom line activates the distance measurement or triggers the camera.
Dragging
Drag on the display to move to previous or to next screen in the galerie function.
Pinching
Spread 2 fingers apart to zoom if
pointfinder is activated
.
i
Instead of using the touch screen, the nor­mal keypad but­tons can be used also.

This is a great help for outdoor measuring. The integrated pointfinder (viewscreen) shows the target on the display. The device measures in the middle of the cross hair, even if the laser dot is not visible. Parallax errors occur when the pointfinder camera is used on close targets, with the effect that the laser appears dis­placed in the crosshair. In this case the error is automatically corrected with a shift of the crosshair.

Move Alert of Levelling

123
Choose the sensitivity of the levelling, which is needed for some measuring functions. FINE means, that the levelling of the device is sen­sitive to any small vibrations. Choose ROUGH when working in harsh con­struction environment with many shocks and vi­brations. In this case the accuracy is decreased in correlation with the movements.
