Transport
When transporting the equipment in the field, always make sure that you
either carry the product in its original container,
•
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, as it can be affected by shock
and vibration. Always carry the product in its container and secure it.
For products for which no container is available use the original packaging or
its equivalent.
When transporting the product by rail, air or sea, always use the complete ori-
ginal Leica Geosystems packaging, container and cardboard box, or its equival-
ent, to protect against shock and vibration.
When transporting or shipping batteries, the person responsible for 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.
Exposing the product to high mechanical forces, for example through frequent
transport or rough handling, or storing the product for a long time may cause
deviations and a decrease in the measurement accuracy. Periodically carry out
test measurements and perform the field adjustments indicated in the User
Manual before using the product.
Storage
Respect the temperature limits when storing the equipment, particularly in
summer if the equipment is inside a vehicle. Refer to "7 Technical Data" for
information about temperature limits.
Refer to "7 Technical Data" for information about storage temperature
•
range.
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.
A storage temperature range of 0 °C to +30 °C / +32 °F to +86 °F in a dry
•
environment is recommended to minimize self-discharging of the battery.
At the recommended storage temperature range, batteries containing a
•
40% to 50% charge can be stored for up to one year. After this storage
period the batteries must be recharged.
