Page 11: Precautions For Safe Operation
1. PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE OPERATION For the safe use of the product and prevention of injury to operators and other persons as well as prevention of property damage, items which should be observed are indicated by an exclamation point within a triangle used with WARNING and CAUTION statements in this operator’s manual.
Page 12 1. PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE OPERATION General Warning Do not use the unit in areas exposed to high amounts of dust or ash, in areas where there is inadequate ventilation, or near combustible materials. An explosion could occur. Do not perform disassembly or rebuilding. Fire, electric shock, burns or hazardous radiation exposure could result.
Page 13 1. PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE OPERATION Power Supply Warning Do not place articles such as clothing on the battery charger while charging batteries. Sparks could be induced, leading to fire. Do not use batteries other than those designated. An explosion could occur, or abnormal heat generated, leading to fire.
Page 14 1. PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE OPERATION Tripod Caution When mounting the instrument to the tripod, tighten the centering screw securely. Failure to tighten the screw properly could result in the instrument falling off the tripod, causing injury. Tighten securely the leg fixing screws of the tripod on which the instrument is mounted.
Page 15: Precautions
2. PRECAUTIONS Tribrach Clamp • 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 tribrachs. Before using the instrument the first time, loosen this screw with a screwdriver.
Page 16 2. PRECAUTIONS Vertical and horizontal clamps • Always fully release the vertical/horizontal clamps when rotating the instrument or telescope. Rotating with clamp(s) partially applied may adversely affect accuracy. Backing up data • Data should be backed up (transfered to an external device etc.) on a regular basis to prevent data loss.
Page 17 2. PRECAUTIONS Other precautions • Close the external interface hatch before starting measurement. Otherwise, ambient light entering the USB port may adversely affect measurement results. • If the CX is moved from a warm place to an extremely cold place, internal parts may contract and make the keys difficult to operate.
Page 18 2. PRECAUTIONS • When the instrument is not used for a long time, check it at least once every 3 months. "35. CHECKS AND ADJUSTMENTS" • When removing the CX from the carrying case, never pull it out by force. The empty carrying case should be closed to protect it from moisture.

38. EXPLANATION 38.1 Manually Indexing the Vertical Circle by Face Left, Face Right Measurement The 0 index of the vertical circle of your CX is almost 100% accurate, but when it is necessary to perform particularly high precision angle measurements, you can eliminate any inaccuracy of the 0 index as follows.
Page 302: Atmospheric Correction For High Precision Distance Measurement
38. EXPLANATION 38.2 Atmospheric Correction for High Precision Distance Measurement • Need for atmospheric correction The CX measures the distance with a beam of light, but the velocity of this light varies according to the index of refraction of light in the atmosphere. This index of refraction varies according to the temperature and pressure.
Page 303 38. EXPLANATION • Calculation of atmospheric correction factor allowing for humidity The humidity has little influence, particularly on short distance measurements. The effect of humidity should be considered in cases where it is very hot and humid and high precision measurements are to be performed over a particularly long distance.

38. EXPLANATION 38.3 Correction for refraction and earth curvature The instrument measures distance, taking into account correction for refraction and earth curvature. Distance Calculation Formula Distance Calculation Formula; with correction for refraction and earth curvature taken into account. Follow the Formula below for converting horizontal and vertical distances.
