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 de vice canno t b e used while
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.

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 rely on the real laser dot.

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
using the steps below.

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.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced
radio/TV technician for help.

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC
Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:

• This device may not cause harmful interfer­ence, and

• this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.

This device complies with Industry Canada
license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation
is subject to the following two conditions:

• This device may not cause interference and

• this device must accept any interference,

Déclaration FCC, applicable aux Etats-Unis

Ce produit a été testé et ses limites ont été
jugées conformes à celles prescrites pour les
dispositifs numériques de classe B, décrites
dans le paragraphe 15 des règles FCC. Ces
limites ont pour but de fournir une protec­tion raisonnable contre des interférences
nocives dans une installation résidentielle.
Les appareils de ce type génèrent, utilisent et
peuvent rayonner de hautes fréquences. Ils
sont de ce fait susceptibles de perturber la
réception radiophonique en cas d'installation
non conforme aux instructions.

Même en cas de respect des instructions,
l'absence d'interférences dans une installa­tion particulière ne peut cependant être
garantie. Si cet instrument perturbe la récep­tion radiophonique ou télévisuelle, ce que
l'on constate en éteignant puis en rallumant
l'instrument, l'utilisateur peut tenter de
corriger ces interférences en appliquant les
mesures suivantes :

• Réorienter ou repositionner l'antenne de
réception.

• Augmenter la distance entre l'instrument
et le récepteur.

• Connecter l'instrument à un autre circuit
que celui du récepteur.

• Consulter le revendeur ou un technicien
expérimenté dans le domaine radio/TV.

Cet appareil est conforme à la section 15 des
règlements FCC. Son fonctionnement est
soumis aux deux conditions suivantes :

• cet appareil ne doit pas causer d'inter­férences nuisibles, et

• cet appareil doit accepter toute autre
interférence reçue, y compris les inter­férences pouvant entraîner un fonc­tionnement non désiré.

Ce dispositif est conforme à la norme RSS­210 d’Industrie Canada. L’utilisation est
sujette aux deux conditions suivantes :

• ce dispositif ne pas doit pas être la source
d’interférences nuisibles, et

• ce dispositif doit accepter toutes les inter­férences, y compris les interférences
pouvant induire des opérations non
souhaitées.

Normativa FCC (aplicable en EE UU)

Las pruebas efectuadas han puesto de mani­fiesto que este equipo se atiene a los valores
límite, determinados en la sección 15 de la
normativa FCC, para instrumentos digitales
de la clase B. Esto significa que el instrumento
puede emplearse en las proximidades de
lugares habitados, sin que su radiación
resulte molesta. Los equipos de este tipo
generan, utilizan y emiten una frecuencia de
radio alta y, en caso de no ser instalados
conforme a las instrucciones, pueden causar
perturbaciones en la recepción radiofónica.

En todo caso, no es posible excluir la posibi­lidad de que se produzcan perturbaciones en
determinadas instalaciones.

Si este equipo causa perturbaciones en la
recepción radiofónica o televisiva, lo que
puede determinarse al apagar y volver a
encender el equipo, el operador puede
intentar corregir estas interferencias de la
forma siguiente:

• cambiando la orientación o la ubicación de
la antena receptora.

• aumentando la distancia entre el instru­mento y el receptor.

• conectando el instrumento a un circuito
distinto al del receptor.

• asesorándose por el vendedor o algún
técnico de radio-televisión.

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

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 : 2007 „Radiation safety of

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
aids (e.g. binoculars, telescopes) can be
hazardous.

CAUTION

Looking into the laser beam may be
