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 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.

Using the Smart Base

Unlock Lock
Tripod or
Adapter thread
Fold out Smart Base. Use it as mini tripod.
The Smart Base Extension allows for stable targeting without unintentionally tilt­ing the device..
i
Do not move or tilt the Smartbase during measuring.
We recommend the use of a tripod with the Leica FTA360-S adapter.

Operations

i
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 using the steps below.

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.
