- Page 4 Dismantling it by yourself may worsen the trouble. CAUTION • Do not stand on the carrying case. The case could turn over causing the person standing on it to fall. • When attaching the instrument to a tripod, make sure the instrument is securely fixed to the tripod and then securely tighten the tripod leg clamps.
- Page 5 Precautions The instrument should not be stored or used in extreme temperatures or job on a place subject to rapid change of temperature. (Refer to the ambient temperature range) The instrument may not function properly if used out of the ambient temperature range.
- Page 6 Put into the carrying for storage and place in a dry area not subject to vibration, dust or high moisture. When storage and usage temperatures are widely different, leave the instrument in the case until it can adjust to the surrounding temperature.
- Page 7 The detector (option) may react to the Laser beam and further react to the Fluorescent lamp, Site lamp, modulated light or an electric wave (in or near the airport etc.) and so correct measurement is sometimes not performed near these places. In these cases, please measure again after stopping or cutting these modulated light or wave etc.
- Page 8 The instrument should be stored in the carrying case and packed with cushioning material and handled with care as ‘Fragile’ . Check the ‘check and adjustment of the datumpoint’ of page 35 in this manual and be sure to check to see if error exists before the instrument is used.
- Page 9 Be sure to observe the items in the instruction manual for proper use of the instrument. Please replace attached batteries with new ones before you work because their voltage may be low.
