    Before using this product, be sure that you have thoroughly read and understood this instruction manual to ensure proper operation. After reading this manual, be sure to keep in a convenient place for easy reference. Exemption clause 1) TI Asahi Co.,Ltd. (TIA) shall not be liable for damage caused by Acts of God, fire, alteration or servicing by unauthorized parties, accident, negligence, misuse, abnormal operating conditions.
  • Page 8: Precautions Regarding Safety

    PRECAUTIONS REGARDING SAFETYxx Safety precautions (Must be followed) The following items are intended to prevent possible injury to the user or other people and/or damage to the instrument before it occurs. These safety precautions are important to the safe operation of this product and should be observed at all times. Distinctive displays The following displays are used to distinguish precautions by the degree of injury or damage that may result if the precaution is ignored.
  • Page 9 areas. If this instrument is used close to industrial areas or transmitters, the equipment can be influenced by electromagnetic fields. • Do not use this product in a coal mine, in a location where there is coal dust, or near flammable material as there is a risk of explosion.
  • Page 10 • Make sure the tripod itself and the instrument on the tripod are both installed securely as insecure installation may cause the tripod to fall over or the instrument to drop, resulting in possible injury. • Do not carry the tripod with the metal shoe pointing toward another person as it may injure him/her.
  • Page 11: Usage Precautions

    Do not stare into the laser beam. R-200 is a Class IIIa (3R) Laser product. [EDM axis] The R-200 series EDM is a red visible laser beam and the beam diameter is very small. The beam is emitted from the objective centre. The EDM axis is designed to coincide with the telescope sight axis (but both axes may deviate slightly because of intense temperature changes and a long time lapse).
  • Page 12 [Battery & charger] • Do not use any battery or battery charger that is not approved by Pentax as it entails a risk of damaging 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.
  • Page 13 [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.
