General

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.

When securing the instrument in the carrying case make sure that all catches, including the side catches, are closed. Failure to do so could result in the instrument falling out while being carried, causing injury.

Do not use the carrying case as a footstool. The case is slippery and unstable so a person could slip and fall off it.

Do not place the instrument in a case with a damaged case or belt. The case or instrument could be dropped and cause injury.

This instrument automatically operates when the power is turned ON or OFF. Do not touch the instrument during operation. Doing so may cause injury.

Power Supply

Do not use batteries other than those designated. An explosion could occur, or abnormal heat generated, leading to fire.

To prevent shorting of the battery in storage, apply insulating tape or equivalent to the terminals. Otherwise shorting could occur, resulting in fire or burns.

Do not place articles such as clothing on the battery charger while charging batteries. Sparks could be induced, leading to fire.

Do not use damaged power cords, plugs or loose outlets. Fire or electric shock could result.

Do not use power cords other than those designated. Fire could result.

Use only the specified battery charger to recharge batteries. Other chargers may be of different voltage rating or polarity, causing sparking which could lead to fire or burns.

Do not connect or disconnect power supply plugs with wet hands. Electric shock could result.

Do not short circuit. Heat or ignition could result.

Do not use voltage other than the specified power supply voltage. Fire or electrical shock could result.

Do not use the battery or charger for any other equipment or purpose. Fire or burns caused by ignition could result.

Do not heat or throw batteries or chargers into fire. An explosion could occur, resulting in injury.

Do not use batteries or the battery charger if wet. Resultant shorting could lead to fire or burns.

Do not touch liquid leaking from batteries. Harmful chemicals could cause burns or blisters.

Tripod

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. Failure to tighten the screws could result in the tripod collapsing, causing injury.

Do not carry the tripod with the tripod shoes pointed at other persons. A person could be injured if struck by the tripod shoes.

Keep hands and feet away from the tripod shoes when fixing the tripod in the ground. A hand or foot stab wound could result.

Tighten the leg fixing screws securely before carrying the tripod. Failure to tighten the screws could lead to the tripod legs extending, causing injury.

Wireless LAN

Do not use within the vicinity of hospitals. Malfunction of medical equipment could result.

Use the instrument at a distance of at least 22 cm from anyone with a cardiac pacemaker. Otherwise, the pacemaker may be adversely affected by the electromagnetic waves produced and cease to operate as normal.

Do not use onboard aircraft. The aircraft instrumentation may malfunction as a result.

Do not use within the vicinity of automatic doors, fire alarms and other devices with automatic controls as the electromagnetic waves produced may adversely affect operation resulting in an accident.

How to connect

• Avoid a W-LAN connection during auto leveling when setting up the instrument.

There are two methods to connect to the LN-100:

• Mode A
  Data communication is directly performed between the LN-100 and the controller without going through a WLAN access point.
• Mode B
  Data communication is performed via a WLAN access point.

To configure the communication settings, Mode A needs to be set to the connection mode of the LN-100.

• To use Mode B, an access point for WLAN is required. Ensure that you have a SSID and password for the access point to connect.
• Configure the controller in advance so that it can connect to the WLAN access point.

1. Set Mode A to the connection mode of the LN-100.
   • The selector switch is inside the battery box.
     
2. Turn the power of the LN-100 ON.
