    15. CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT This instrument has undergone a strict process of checking and adjustment, which ensures that it meets quality requirement. However, after long periods of transport or under a changing environment, there may be some influences on the internal structure. Therefore, before the instrument is used for the first time, or before precise surveys, user should launch check and adjustment introduced in this chapter to ensure the precision of the job.
