DescriptionThe Rugby 620 can be purchased with alkaline batteries or a rechargeable Li-Ion
battery pack.
The following information is appropriate only to the model you have purchased.
6.1Operating Principles
Charging / first-time
use
Operation /
Discharging
• The battery must be charged prior to using it for the first time because it is delivered with an energy content as low as possible.
• The permissible temperature range for charging is between 0°C to +40°C/ +32°F to
+104°F. For optimal charging, we recommend charging the batteries at a low
ambient temperature of +10°C to +20°C/+50°F to +68°F if possible.
• It is normal for the battery to become warm during charging. Using the chargers
recommended by Leica Geosystems, it is not possible to charge the battery if the
temperature is too high.
• For new batteries or batteries that have been stored for a long time (> three
months), it is effectual to make only one charge/discharge cycle.
• For Li-Ion batteries, a single discharging and charging cycle is sufficient. We recommend carrying out the process when the battery capacity indicated on the charger
or on a Leica Geosystems product deviates significantly from the actual battery
capacity available.
• The batteries can be operated from -20°C to +55°C/-4°F to +131°F.
• Low operating temperatures reduce the capacity that can be drawn; high operating
temperatures reduce the service life of the battery.

About• It is the responsibility of the user to follow operating instructions and to periodi-
cally check the accuracy of the laser and work as it progresses.
• The Rugby is adjusted to the defined accuracy specification at the factory. It is
recommended to check the laser for accuracy upon receipt and periodically thereafter to ensure accuracy is maintained. If the laser requires adjustment, contact
your nearest authorised service centre or adjust the laser using the procedures
described in this chapter.
• Only enter the accuracy adjustment mode when you plan to change the accuracy.
Accuracy adjustments should only be performed by a qualified individual that
understands basic adjustment principles.
• It is recommended to perform this procedure with two people on a relatively flat
surface.
