PRECAUTIONS REGARDING SAFETY
Usage Precautions
Surveying instruments are high-precision instruments. In order to assure that the
Electronic Total Station R-300 series product which you have purchased will
provide long-lasting maximum performance, the precautions in this manual must
be followed.Be sure to follow these instructions and use this product properly at
all times.
[Solar Observation]
WARNING
Never view the sun directly using the telescope as this may result in loss of
sight. Never point the objective lens directly at the sun as this may damage
internal components. When using the instr ument for solar observation, be sure
to attach the special solar filter (MU64) designed for this product to the
objective lens.
[Laser Beam]
Do not stare into laser beam. R-300 is a class-II Laser product.
(The reflectorless type is a Class IIIa (3R) laser product.)
[EDM axis]
The R series EDM is the red visible laser beam and the beam diameter is very
small.The beam is emitted from the objective center and the base plate center
hole.The EDM axis is designed to coincide with the telescope sight axis but both
axes may not sometimes coincide slightly according to the intense temperature
change and time lapse.
[Target Constant]
Confirm the Target Constant of the instrument before measurement.
If a different constant is to be used, use the correct constant of the target.The
constant is stored in the instrument's memory when tur ned off.
[Reflectorless and Reflector sheet]
● The measurement range is determined by the white side of the Kodak Gray
Card facing the instrument and by its surrounding brightness.
There is a possibility that the range may vary when the target does not satisfy
the conditions above at survey work.
● Pay attention to following in case of distance measurement by Reflectorless.
In a situation resulting in low accuracy, perform the distance measurement by
Reflector sheet or Prism. (R-315N/R-325N/R-335N/R-322N/R-323N)
q There is a possibility that correct distance measurement may be impossible by
dispersion or reduction of laser beam when the laser beam comes into the
target from diagonal angle.
w There is a possibility that the instrument cannot calculate correctly when
receiving reflected laser beam from forth and back directions in case of
measuring the target on the road.
PENTAX R-300 (p01-19) 10/30/02 11:20 AM Page 3

PRECAUTIONS REGARDING SAFETY
e There is a possibility that synthesized values are calculated and the distance
may become longer or shorter than the actual one when the operator
measure the target of slope or sphere or rugged shape.
r There is a possibility that the instrument cannot calculate correctly by
collecting the reflected laser beam from a man or a car that comes and goes
in front of the target.
● When using Reflector sheet, set the Reflector sheet to have its surface be
approx. ver tical to the aiming line. If it is positioned not to be approx. right
angle, there is a possibility that correct distance measurement may be
impossible by dispersion or reduction of laser beam.
[Battery & Charger]
● Never use any battery charger other than the BC03 battery charger as this
may result in damage to the instrument.
● If water should happen to splash on the instrument or the battery, wipe it off
immediately and allow it to dry in a dry location. Do not put the instr ument in
the case until it is completely dry as this may result in damage to the
instrument.
● Turn off the power when removing the battery from the instrument as
removing the battery while the power is still on may result in damage to the
instrument.
● The battery mark displayed on the instrument is only an estimate of remaining
battery power and is not completely accurate. Replace the batter y quickly
when it is about to run down as the time a battery lasts on one charge differs
depending on conditions of ambient temperature, and the measurement mode
of the instrument.
● Confirm the battery level remaining before operating.
[Auto focus]
The Auto focus mechanism is very precise but will not function under every
condition. Focusing depends on brightness, contrast, the shape and size of the
target.
In such a case, press the AF button and focus on the target by operating the
Power focus key or the AF ring.
[LD POINT, Laser pointer]
When you make a correct direction using the “LD POINT”, aim the laser beam at
the wall and mark the center and then confirm the discrepancy between the
reticle center and the marked point beforehand.

PRECAUTIONS REGARDING SAFETY
[Storage and Operating Environment]
● To prevent making short-circuit when removing the battery and charger from
the case and storing them, apply electrically resistant tape to the poles of the
battery. Storing the battery and charger as is may result in fire or burn injur y
due to short-circuit.
● Avoid storing the instrument in places subject to extreme high, low or radically
fluctuating temperature. (Ambient temperature range during use: –20° C to
+50° C)
● Distance measurements may take longer when atmospheric conditions are
poor such as when heat shimmer is present.When storing the instr ument,
always put it in its case and avoid storage in dusty location or location subject
to vibration or extreme heat or humidity.
● Whenever there is a sharp temperature difference between the instrument’s
storage and usage locations allow the instrument to adjust to the ambient for
an hour or more before use.Be sure to protect the instrument from the sun if
the location is subject to intense direct sunlight.
● During surveys for which the survey precision or atmospheric measurement
method has been defined measure the atmospheric temperature and
pressure separately and enter those values rather than using the Automatic
Atmospheric Correction function.
● The battery should be charged approximately once per month if the
instrument is to be stored for an extended period of time.The instrument
should also be removed from its case occasionally and aired out.
● In addition to these precautions, be sure to handle the instrument properly at
all times following the descriptions given in the various sections of this manual
to assure safe and proper measurements.
[Transpor ting and Carr ying the Instr ument]
● Be careful to protect this instrument from shock of impact and excessive
vibration which may result in damage during transportation and shipment.
● When transporting the instrument, always put it in the case and wrap shockabsorbing material around it and be sure it is handled as “FRAGILE”.
[Checks and Repairs]
● Always check the instrument before beginning work and check that the
instrument is maintaining the proper level of precision.Pentax bears
absolutely no responsibility for damages due to survey results obtained from
surveys conducted without an initial instrument check.
● Never disassemble the instrument, battery or charger even if you do detect an
abnormality as there is a risk of fire or electric shock due to shor t-circuit. If
you think the product requires repair, contact the retail outlet where you
purchased it or an authorized repair site.

3 PREPARATION FOR SURVEYING
● The brightness adjustment step of the laser is 10 steps.
● The laser plummet spot can become difficult to see in bright sunlight which
makes it difficult to perform the occasional check.In this case, use your foot or
the carrying case to make a shadow over the laser position.
● The laser plummet is adjusted to be within ±0.8 mm at the instrument height
of 1.5m at factory shipping.
● Please confirm the amount of the gap (direction of X and Y direction) with the
laser plummet beforehand compared with plumb bomb etc. when working like
accurately putting out a perpendicular direction using the laser plummet
function.
● Please do not look at the laser source of beam directly.
