4. Care and Transport

Transport

When dispatching the equipment, always use the
complete original Leica Geosystems packaging
(case and cardboard box).
When transporting the equipment in the field, always
make sure that you:
• either carry the product in its original transport case
• or carry the tripod with its legs splayed across your
shoulder, keeping the attached product upright.
Never carry the product loose in a road vehicle. It can be
affected by shock and vibration. Always carry it in its case
and secure it.
When transporting the equipment by rail, air or ship,
always use the complete original Leica Geosystems pack-
aging (case and cardboard box), or its equivalent, to
protect it against shock and vibration.
When transporting or shipping batteries, the person in
charge of the product must ensure that the applicable
national and international rules and regulations are
observed. Before transportation or shipping, contact your
local passenger or freight transport company.

Storage

Temperature limits
(-40°C to +70°C / -40°F to +158°F)
Respect the temperature limits when storing the
equipment, particularly in summer if the equipment
is inside a vehicle.
Li-Ion batteries
• Refer to "Environmental Specifications" for information
about storage temperature range.
• A storage temperature range of -20 to +30°C/-4 to 68°F
in a dry environment is recommended to minimize self-
discharging of the battery.
• At the recommended storage temperature range,
batteries containing a 10% to 50% charge can be stored
for up to one year. After this storage period, the
batteries must be recharged.
• Remove batteries from the product and the charger
before storing.
• After storage, recharge batteries before using.
• Protect batteries from damp and wetness. Wet or damp
batteries must be dried before storing or use.
