Notes When Using the Instrument with Tripod
When using the instrument with the tripod, first attach the tripod base plate to the instrument, and then attach
the instrument to the panhead/tripod. To improve scanning accuracy, it is recommended that scanning be per-
formed via the personal computer connected to the instrument, instead of pressing the [RELEASE] key.
CAUTION
• Make sure that the tripod base plate, panhead and tripod are secured to the instrument and each fas-
tener on the tripod is firmly tightened. Failure to observe this point may result in the tripod overturning
or the instrument dropping.
• When placing the tripod on a floor, examine the floor conditions and flatness to make sure that the tri-
pod is stably placed.
• After measurement is completed, the instrument must be removed from the tripod before storing them.
If the instrument is stored with the tripod attached, the tripod may overturn or the instrument may drop,
resulting in accidents.
Mounting to the Tripod
