Care and Transport
6.1
Transport
When transporting the equipment in the field, always make sure that you
•
either carry the product in its original container,
•
or carry the tripod with its legs splayed across your shoulder, keeping the
attached product upright.
Never carry the product loose in a road vehicle, as it can be affected by shock
and vibration. Always carry the product in its container, original packaging or
equivalent and secure it.
When transporting the product by rail, air or sea, always use the complete orig-
inal Leica Geosystems packaging, container and cardboard box, or its equiva-
lent, 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 regula-
tions are observed. Before transportation or shipping, contact your local pas-
senger or freight transport company.
Periodically carry out test measurements and perform the field adjustments
indicated in the User Manual, particularly after the product has been dropped,
stored for long periods or transported.
6.2
Storage
Respect the temperature limits when storing the equipment, particularly in
summer if the equipment is inside a vehicle. Refer to "7 Technical Data" for
information about temperature limits.
After long periods of storage inspect the field adjustment parameters given in
this user manual before using the product.
•
Refer to "7 Technical Data" for information about storage temperature
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 minimize 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.
