Care and Transport
7.1
Transport
When transporting the product by rail, air or sea, always use the complete
original Leica Geosystems packaging, container and cardboard box, or its
equivalent, to protect against shock and vibration.
When transporting or shipping batteries, the person responsible for the prod-
uct must ensure that the applicable national and international rules and regu-
lations are observed. Before transportation or shipping, contact your local
passenger or freight transport company.
7.2
Storage
Respect the temperature limits when storing the equipment, particularly in
summer if the equipment is inside a vehicle. Refer to "8 Technical Data" for
information about temperature limits.
•
Refer to " Battery for control unit" for information about storage temper-
ature 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 minimise 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.
