2. PRECAUTIONS

Speaker
Telescope
• Aiming the telescope at the sun will cause internal damage to the instrument. Use the solar filter when observing the sun.
C"24. OPPTIONAL ACCESSORIES"
Tribrach Clamp and Handle
• When the instrument is shipped, the tribrach clamp is held firmly in place with a locking screw to prevent the instrument from shifting on the levelling base. Before using the instrument the first time, loosen this screw with a screwdriver. And before transporting it, tighten the locking screw to fasten the tribrach clamp in place so that it will not shift on the tribrach.
• The handle of the instrument can be removed. When operating the instrument with the handle attached, always make sure that the handle is securely fixed to the instrument body with the handle locks.
Precautions concerning water and dust resistance
The instrument conforms to IP65 specifications for waterproofing and dust resistance when battery cover, connector cap and the external interface hatch and are closed.
• Be sure to correctly attach the connector caps to protect the instrument from moisture and dust particles when the connector is not in use.
• Make sure that moisture or dust particles do not come in contact with the terminal or connectors. Operating the instrument with moisture or dust on the terminal or connectors may cause damage to the instrument.
• Make sure that the inside of the carrying case and the instrument are dry before closing the case. If moisture is trapped inside the case, it may cause the instrument to rust.
• If there is a crack or deformation in the rubber packing for the battery cover or external interface
hatch, stop using and replace the packing.
• To retain the waterproof property, it is recommended that you replace the rubber packing once every
two years. To replace the packing, contact your local sales representative.
• Do not press the speaker / luminance sensor / microphone hole using
something with a pointed tip. Doing so will damage an internal waterproof sheet, resulting in a degraded waterproof property.
The Lithium Battery
• The lithium battery is used to maintain the Calendar & Clock function. It can back up data for approximately 5 years of normal use and storage (Temperature = 20°, humidity = about 50%), but its lifetime may be shorter depending on circumstances.
4
2. PRECAUTIONS
The Levelling Base
• Always use the levelling base provided. During a traverse observation, it is recommended to use the same type of levelling base for the target as well for accurate observations.
Backing up data
• Data should be backed up (transferred to an external device etc.) on a regular basis to prevent data loss.
Other precautions
• Never place the instrument directly on the ground. Sand or dust may cause damage to the screw holes or the centering screw on the base plate.
• Do not perform vertical rotation of the telescope when using the lens hood, diagonal eyepiece, or solar filter. Such accessories may strike the instrument causing damage.
• Protect the instrument from heavy shocks or vibration.
• Protect the instrument from rain or drizzle with an umbrella or waterproof cover.
• Never carry the instrument on the tripod to another site.
• Turn the power off before removing the battery.
• Remove the battery before placing the instrument in its case.
• Make sure that the instrument and the protective lining of the carrying case are dry before closing the case. The case is hermetically sealed and if moisture is trapped inside, the instrument could rust.
• Consult your local dealer before using the instrument under special conditions such as long periods of continuous use or high levels of humidity. In general, special conditions are treated as being outside the scope of the product warranty.
Maintenance
• Wipe off moisture completely if the instrument gets wet during survey work.
• Always clean the instrument before returning it to the case. The lens requires special care. First, dust it off with the lens brush to remove tiny particles. Then, after providing a little condensation by breathing on the lens, wipe it with the wiping cloth.
• If the display is dirty, carefully wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. To clean other parts of the instrument or the carrying case, lightly moisten a soft cloth in a mild detergent solution. Wring out excess water until the cloth is slightly damp, then carefully wipe the surface of the unit. Do not use any alkaline cleaning solutions, alcohol, or any other organic solvents on the instrument or display.
CFor temporal de-activating the touch panel, see "5.2 Display Functions", "19. CHANGING THE
SETTINGS"
• Store the instrument in a dry room where the temperature remains fairly constant.
• Check the tripod for loose fit and loose screws.
• If any trouble is found on the rotatable portion, screws or optical parts (e.g. lens), contact your local dealer.
• When the instrument is not used for a long time, check it at least once every 3 months.
C"21. CHECKS AND ADJUSTMENTS"
• Every 4,000 to 5,000 hours operation in total, change grease of driving parts. Contact your local dealer for the maintenance.
• When removing the instrument from the carrying case, never pull it out by force. The empty carrying case should be closed to protect it from moisture.

Bluetooth communication with the DS uses the 2.4 GHz frequency band. This is the same band used by the devices described below.
•Industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) equipment such as microwaves and pacemakers.
• portable premises radio equipment (license required) used in factory production lines etc.
• portable specified low-power radio equipment (license-exempt)
•IEEE802.11b/IEEE802.11g standard wireless LAN devices The above devices use the same frequency band as Bluetooth communications. As a result, using the DS within proximity to the above devices may result in interference causing communication failure or reduction of transmission speed.
Although a radio station license is not required for this instrument, bear in mind the following points when using Bluetooth technology for communication.
I Regarding portable premises radio equipment and portable specified low-power radio
equipment:
• Before starting transmission, check that operation will not take place within the vicinity of
portable premises radio equipment or specified low-power radio equipment.
• In the case that the instrument causes radio interference with portable premises radio
equipment, terminate the connection immediately and take measures to prevent further interference (e.g. connect using an interface cable).
• In the case that the instrument causes radio interference with portable specified low-power radio
equipment, contact your local dealer.
I When using the DS in proximity to IEEE802.11b or IEEE802.11g standard wireless LAN
devices, turn off all devices not being used.
• Interference may result, causing transmission speed to slow or even disrupting the connection
completely. Turn off all devices not being used.
I Do not use the DS in proximity to microwaves.
• Microwave ovens can cause significant interference resulting in communication failure. Perform
communication at a distance of 3m or more from microwave ovens.
I Refrain from using the DS in proximity to televisions and radios.

4. PRODUCT OUTLINE
• Televisions and radios use a different frequency band to Bluetooth communications.
However, even if the DS is used within proximity to the above equipment with no adverse effects with regard to Bluetooth communication, moving a Bluetooth compatible device (including the DS) closer to said equipment may result in electronic noise in sound or images, adversely affecting the performance of televisions and radios.
Precautions regarding transmission
I For best results
• The usable range becomes shorter when obstacles block the line of sight, or devices such as
PDAs or computers are used. Wood, glass and plastic will not impede communication but the usable range becomes shorter. Moreover, wood, glass and plastic containing metal frames, plates, foil and other heat shielding elements as well as coatings containing metallic powders may adversely affect Bluetooth communication and concrete, reinforced concrete, and metal will render it impossible.
• Use a vinyl or plastic cover to protect the instrument from rain and moisture. Metallic materials
should not be used.
• The direction of the Bluetooth antenna can have adverse effects upon usable range.
I Reduced range due to atmospheric conditions
• The radio waves used by the DS may be absorbed or scattered by rain, fog, and moisture from
the human body with the limit of usable range becoming lower as a result. Similarly, usable range may also shorten when performing communication in wooded areas. Moreover, as wireless devices lose signal strength when close to the ground, perform communication at as high a position as possible.
