This indicates that the antenna can be moved around and that no static observations are being recorded. OCUPY (F1) starts logging of static observations.
Page 59 Step Description Measure the antenna height and note it down in the field record sheet. If the tribrach is not level or the antenna height has changed, the collected data is not reliable. SHIFT QUIT (F6) to return to from where SURVEY Survey: Job Name was accessed.
Page 60 Operation GPS1200 4-27 The antenna must not be moved while data is logged, otherwise the quality of post- processed coordinates is impaired.

Page 90 Safety Directions GPS1200 Hazards of Use Warning The absence of instruction, or the inadequate imparting of instruction, can lead to incorrect or adverse use, and can give rise to accidents with far-reaching human, material, financial and environmental consequences. Precautions: All users must follow the safety directions given by the manufacturer and the direc- tions of the person responsible for the product.
Page 91 Danger Because of the risk of electrocution, it is very dangerous to use poles and extensions in the vicinity of electrical installations such as power cables or electrical railways. Precautions: Keep at a safe distance from electrical installations. If it is essential to work in this environment, first contact the safety authorities responsible for the electrical instal- lations and follow their instructions.
Page 92 Precautions: Adhere to the instructions given by the computer manufacturer with regard to field use in conjunction with Leica Geosystems products. Caution If the accessories used with the product are not properly secured and the product is subjected to mechanical shock, for example blows or falling, the product may be damaged or people may sustain injury.
Page 93 Before transportation or shipping contact your local passenger or freight transport company. Warning Using a battery charger not recommended by Leica Geosystems can destroy the batteries. This can cause fire or explosions. Precautions: Only use chargers recommended by Leica Geosystems to charge the batteries.
Page 94 Safety Directions GPS1200 7-13 Warning High mechanical stress, high ambient temperatures or immersion into fluids can cause leackage, fire or explosions of the batteries. Precautions: Protect the batteries from mechanical influences and high ambient temperatures. Do not drop or immerse batteries into fluids.
