The statements should be displayed in the user manual:
changes or modifications not expressly approved by the
party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority
to operate the equipment.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications.However, there is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio
or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the
following measures:
-- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
-- Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.

    1. Use of instrument The total station is such an instrument that measures the azimuth and distances to destination and can calculate the destination point coordinates automatically. It plays an important role in the economic construction and national defense construction. General Survey, exploration and mining of minerals, the construction of railways, roads, bridges, irrigation, urban planning and construction is driven by electronic total station measurements.
