the normal rain can not damage to the instrument.

Be sure to close the battery cover and correctly attach the connector caps to
protect the instrument from moisture and dust particles.
l
Make sure that the inside of the carrying case and the instrument are dry
before closing the case. If moisture is trapped inside the case, it may cause the
instrument to rust.
l
Never place the instrument directly on the ground. Sand or dust may cause
damage to the screw holes or the centering screw on the base plate.

Mount the instrument on the wooden tripod, because the metal tripod will
shake, and it will decrease the observing precision.

screw on it. It must be tighten in order to protect the instrument.
l
Before your measurement, check all the settings and the parameter of the
instrument carefully.

If the instrument is moved from a warm place to an extremely cold place,
internal parts may contract and make the keys difficult to operate. This is
caused by cold air trapped inside the hermetically sealed casing. If the keys do
not depress, open the battery cover to resume normal functionality. To prevent
the keys from becoming stiff, remove the connector caps before moving the
instrument to a cold place.
l
Protect the instrument from heavy shocks or vibration.
