PRECAUTIONS REGARDING SAFETY
[Storage and operating environment]
• To prevent making short-circuit when removing the battery and charger from the case
and storing them, apply electrically resistant tape to the poles of the battery.Storing the
battery and charger as is may result in fire or burn injury due to short-circuit.
• Avoid storing the instrument in places subject to extreme high, low or radically fluctuating
temperature. (Ambient temperature range during use:–20° C to +50° C)
• Distance measurements may take longer when atmospheric conditions are poor such
as when heat shimmer is present.When storing the instrument,always put it in its case
and avoid storage in dusty location or location subject to vibration or extreme heat or
humidity.
• Whenever there is a sharp temperature difference between the instrument’s storage and
usage locations allow the instrument to adjust to the ambient for an hour or more before
use.Be sure to protect the instrument from the sun if the location is subject to intense
direct sunlight.
• During surveys for which the survey precision or atmospheric measurement method has
been defined measure the atmospheric temperature and pressure separately and enter
those values rather than using the Automatic Atmospheric Correction function.
• The battery should be charged approximately once per month if the instrument is to be
stored for an extended period of time.The instrument should also be removed from its
case occasionally and aired out.
• In addition to these precautions,be sure to handle the instrument properly at all times
following the descriptions given in the various sections of this manual to assure safe and
proper measurements.
[Transporting and carrying the instrument]
• Be careful to protect this instrument from shock of impact and excessive vibration which
may result in damage during transportation and shipment.
• When transporting the instrument, always put it in the case and wrap shockabsorbing
material around it and be sure it is handled as “FRAGILE”.
[Checks and repairs]
• Always check the instrument before beginning work and check that the instrument is
maintaining the proper level of precision.Pentax bears absolutely no responsibility for
damages due to survey results obtained from surveys conducted without an initial
instrument check.
• Never disassemble the instrument, battery or charger even if you do detect an
abnormality as there is a risk of fire or electric shock due to short-circuit. If you think the
product requires repair, contact the retail outlet where you purchased it or an authorized
repair site.
