"25. ACCESSORIES"
Tribrach Clamp and Handle
• When the instrument is shipped, the tribrach clamp is held firmly in place with
a locking screw to prevent the instrument from shifting on the tribrach. Before
using the instrument the first time, loosen this screw with a screwdriver. And
before transporting it, tighten the locking screw to fasten the tribrach clamp
in place so that it will not shift on the tribrach.
• The handle of the instrument can be removed. When operating the
instrument with the handle attached, always make sure that the handle is
securely fixed to the instrument body with the handle locks.
Precautions concerning water and dust resistance
The instrument conforms to IP65 specifications for waterproofing and dust resistance when battery cover,
connector cap and the external interface hatch are closed.
• Be sure to correctly attach the connector caps to protect the instrument from moisture and dust particles when
the connector is not in use.
• Make sure that moisture or dust particles do not come in contact with the terminal or connectors.
Operating the instrument with moisture or dust on the terminal or connectors may cause damage to the
instrument.
• Make sure that the inside of the carrying case and the instrument are dry before closing the case. If moisture
is trapped inside the case, it may cause the instrument to rust.
• If there is a crack or deformation in the rubber packing for the battery cover or external interface hatch, stop
using and replace the packing.
• To retain the waterproof property, it is recommended that you replace the rubber packing once every two
years. To replace the packing, contact your local dealer.
The Lithium Battery
• The lithium battery is used to maintain the Calendar & Clock function. It can back up data for approximately
5 years of normal use and storage (Temperature = 20°, humidity = about 50%), but its lifetime may be shorter
depending on circumstances.
