Note for inspection

When the instrument reaches approx. 2 million performed strokes, the
code
SEr
always appears for approx. 3 seconds in the three-digit
display when the
TRIM/SECT
button is pressed
(switching between trimming and sectioning mode).
This is a reminder that the instrument must be inspected by an autho-
rized Leica service technician, regardless of how heavily the instru-
ment has been used.
