Safety Notes

 Do not point the telescope directly at the sun.
 Do not use the instrument and accessories in

rooms with danger of explosion.

 Operate the instrument only in the compliance

with the operating conditions specified.

 Protect operator and instrument sufficiently at the

site of measurement (e.g. construction site, roads,
etc.). Observe any relevant national regulations and
the Road Traffic Act.

 Tread tripod legs firmly into the ground to prevent

sinking in and falling over of the instrument by wind
pressure.

 Mount the instrument to the tripod using the

tripod screw immediately after you take the instru­ment from its case. Never leave the instrument
placed loosely only on the tripod head. After loosen­ing the tripod screw, immediately store the instru­ment in its case.

 Don’t make any changes or repairs on the instru-

ment and accessories. This must be done only by a
service team or by authorised technical staff.

Safety Notes

 When you work with staves in the vicinity of elec-

tric plants (e.g. electric railways, aerial lines, transmit­ting stations, etc.) your life is acutely endangered.
This risk exists independent of the staff material (e.g.
aluminium or wood). In such cases it is necessary to
inform the competent and authorised safety authori­ties and observe their instructions.

 Don't use the instrument too long when it is rain-

ing. During breaks, cover the instrument with the
protective hood. Wipe the instrument and case dry in
the field and let it dry completely indoors, with the
case open.

 In a thunderstorm, don't carry out surveying work

to avoid being struck by a lightning.

 Remove the batteries in case of unloading or a

longer time without using the instrument. Recharge
the batteries with Single Battery Charger.

 Properly dispose of the batteries and equipment

taking into account the applicable national regula­tions. Prevent improper use of the disposed instru­ment by proper disposal.

5

Safety Notes

 Before every use of the instrument, verify that it is

in perfect condition, particularly after longer trans­portation, fall or any other improper use. Systematic
check measurements particularly before and after
extensive surveying projects will help to avoid erro­neous measurements.

 Do not operate the battery charger and PC Card

reader in humid conditions (risk of electrical shock).
Make sure the voltage setting is identical on the
battery charger and voltage source. Do not use in­struments while they are wet.

 The magnetic PC Card cover should always be in

place to stop environment damage (water, dust).

 Do not use destroyed plugs and cables for accesso-

ries with the instrument.
