Instruction Manuals

Quick Reference Guide is intended to provide a quick reference in the field. For ease of use in the field, the following Quick Reference Guide booklets are provided in the carrying case.

1.Basic procedure

2.PowerTopoLite for R-300X series, Operating procedure

The complete instruction manuals are contained on the CD that is attached to each R-300X.

This guide uses the symbol “ xN” as an expression of repeating times of key operation. For example. “ x2” means that [ESC] key is pressed two times.

The symbol“+”expresses that multiple keys are pressed simultaneously.

PRECAUTIONS REGARDING SAFETY

Before using this product, be sure that you have thoroughly read and understood the instruction manual that is included in the attached CD-ROM to ensure proper operation.

WARNING

Solar Observation

Never view the sun directly using the telescope as this may result in loss of sight.

Laser Safety

R-300NX is a class-IIIa (3R) Laser product. Avoid direct eye exposure. R-300X without “NX” is a class-II (2) Laser product. Do not stare into laser beam.

Electro-Magnetic Compatibility (EMC)

This instrument complies with the protection requirement for residential and commercial areas. If this instrument is used close to industrial areas or transmitters, the equipment can be influenced by electromagnetic fields.

6

Risk of Explosion

Do not use this product in a location where there is coal dust, or near flammable material as there is a risk of explosion.

USAGE PRECAUTIONS

Target Constant

Confirm the Target Constant of the instrument before measurement.

Reflectorless and Reflecting sheet

The reflectorless measurement range may vary depending on the target and surrounding brightness.

In case the reflectorless measurement results in low accuracy, perform the distance measurement by Reflector sheet or Prism. (R-322NX, R-323NX, R-325NX, R-335NX, R-315NX,)

Battery & Charger

Use the battery charger that is suitable to the battery you are using. 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.

Auto focus

The Auto focus may not function under every condition depending on brightness,contrast,and the shape and size of the target.In such a case, use the Power Focus buttons or the manual focus ring.

Atmospheric correction

During surveys for which the survey precision or atmospheric measurement method is defined, measure the atmospheric temperature and pressure separately and enter those values rather than using the Automatic Atmospheric Correction function.

1.Basic Operation

1.1Removing the Battery

(1)Rotate the knob above the battery pack counter-clockwise.

(2)Lift up the battery pack and remove it from the instrument.
