Precautions:
Do not open the charger yourself. Only a Leica Geosys-
tems-approved service technician is entitled to repair it.
CAUTION:
Watch out for erroneous measurements if the
product has been dropped or has been misused,
modified, stored for long periodes or transported.
Precautions:
Periodically carry out test measurements and perform the
field adjustments indicated in the user manual, particularly
after the product has been subjected to abnormal use and
before and after important measurements.
WARNING:
If computers intended for use indoors are used in
the field there is a danger of electric shock.
Precautions:
Adhere to the instructions given by the computer manufac-
turer with regard to field use in conjunction with Leica
Geosystems products.
CAUTION:
If the accessories used with the equipment are not
properly secured and the equipment is subjected to
mechanical shock (e.g. blows, falling), the equip-
ment may be damaged or people may sustain injury.
Precautions:
When setting-up the equipment, make sure that the acces-
sories (e.g. tripod, tribrach, connecting cables) are
correctly adapted, fitted, secured, and locked in position.
Avoid subjecting the equipment to mechanical shock.
CAUTION:
The product uses the GPS P-Code signal, which by
U.S. policy, may be switched off without notice.
WARNING:
Inadequate securing of the survey site can lead to
dangerous situations, for example in traffic, on
building sites and at industrial installations.
Precautions:
Always ensure that the survey site is adequately secured.
Adhere to the regulations governing accident prevention
and road traffic.
DANGER:
Because of the risk of electrocution, it
is very dangerous to use poles and
extensions in the vicinity of electrical
installations such as power cables or electrical railways.
Precautions:
Keep at a safe distance from electrical installations. If it is
essential to work in this environment, first contact the
safety authorities responsible for the electrical installations
and follow their instructions.
CAUTION:
During the transport or disposal of charged batteries
it is possible for inappropriate mechanical influences
to constitute a fire hazard.
