The safety instructions and the user manual should be read
through carefully before the product is used for the first time.
The person responsible for the product must ensure that all
users understand these directions and adhere to them.
The symbols used have the following meanings:
WARNING
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation or an unintended use
which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

which, if not avoided, may result in minor injury and/or appreciable
material, financial and environmental damage.
Important paragraphs which must be adhered to in practice as
i
they enable the product to be used in a technically correct and
efficient manner.
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 de vice can no t be used w hi le
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.
Use only fingers to use the touch screen.
Do not allow the touch screen to come into contact with other electrical devices.
Electrostatic discharges can cause the touch screen to malfunction.
Do not allow the touch screen to contact water. The touch screen
may malfunction in humid conditions or when exposed to water.
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.
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.

Depending on your geographic location, the angle of declination may vary from
other locations, as the geographic and magnetic poles are aligned. However, if the
reference location is not selected, the difference in declination between the poles
can differ greatly. For best results, select the nearest geographic reference point

Indirect distance measuring between 2 points with additional results. Ideal for applications such as length and slope
of roof, height of chimneys,…
It is important, that the instrument is positioned in the
same vertical plane as the 2 measured points. The plane is
defined of the line between the 2 points. This means, that
the device on the tripod is only moved vertically and not
turned horizontally to reach both points.
Ideal for measuring of height differences to a
reference point. Can be also used to measure profiles and terrain sections. After measuring the reference point, the horizontal
distance and height is displayed for each following point.
The result is shown in the main line.
Pressing the measuring key for 2 sec in the function activates automatically Minimum or Maximum measurement.
We recommend to use the pythagoras only for indirect
horizontal measuring.
For height measuring (vertical) it is more precise to use
a function with the inclination measuring.

Heights of buildings or trees without

and tilt is measured - which needs a reflective laser target. The upper point
can be targeted with the pointfinder /
crosshair and does not need a reflective laser target as only the inclination is
measured.
The result is shown in the main line.
Pressing the measuring key for 2 sec in the function

Electromagnetic Compatibility
(EMC)
WARNING
The device conforms to the most stringent
requirements of the relevant standards and
regulations.
Yet, the possibility of causing interference in
other devices cannot be totally excluded.
FCC statement (applicable in
U.S.)
This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
in a residential installation.This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio
communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment
off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the
equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a
circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
Electromagnetic radiation can cause disturbances in other equipment, in installations
(e.g. medical ones such as pacemakers or
hearing aids) and in aircraft. It can also affect
humans and animals.
Precautions:
Athough this product conforms to the most
stringent standards and regulations, the
possibility of harm to people and animals
cannot totally excluded.
• Do not use the product near petrol
stations, chemical plants, in areas with a
potentially explosive atmosphere and
where blasting takes place.
• Do not use the product near medical
equipment.
• Do not use the product in airplanes.
• Do not use the product near your body for
extended periods.
Laser classification
The device produces visible laser beams,
which are emitted from the instrument:
It is a Class 2 laser product in accordance
with:
• IEC60825-1 : 2014 „Radiation safety of
laser products“
Laser Class 2 products:
Do not stare into the laser beam or direct it
towards other people unnecessarily. Eye
protection is normally afforded by aversion
responses including the blink reflex.
WARNING
Looking directly into the beam with optical
