Hazards in use

CAUTION:

Watch out for erroneous distance measure-

ments if the instrument is defective or if it has been 
dropped or has been misused or modified.

Precautions:

Carry out periodic test measurements. Particularly 
after the instrument has been subject to abnormal 
use, and before, during and after important measure-
ments.
Make sure the Leica Racer optics is kept clean and 
that there is no mechanical damage to the bumpers.

CAUTION:

In using the instrument for distance measure-

ments or for positioning moving objects (e.g. cranes, 
building equipment, platforms, etc.) unforeseen 
events may cause erroneous measurements.

Precautions:

Only use this product as a measuring sensor, not as 
a control device. Your system must be configured and 
operated in such a way, that in case of an erroneous 

measurement, malfunction of the device or power 
failure due to installed safety measures (e.g. safety 
limit switch), it is assured that no damage will occur.

WARNING:

Flat batteries must not be disposed of with 

household waste. Care for the environment and take 
them to the collection points provided in accordance 
with national or local regulations.

The product must not be disposed of with 
household waste.
Dispose of the product appropriately in 
accordance with the national regulations in 
force in your country.
Always prevent access to the product by 
unauthorized personnel.
Product specific treatment and waste 

management information can be downloaded from 
the Leica Geosystems home page at 
http://www.leica-geosystems.com/treatment or 
received from your Leica Geosystems dealer.

Electromagnetic Compatibility 
(EMC)

The term "electromagnetic compatibility" is taken to 
mean the capability of the product to function 
smoothly in an environment where electromagnetic 
radiation and electrostatic discharges are present, 
and without causing electromagnetic interference to 
other equipment.
