2. PRECAUTIONS
• Make sure that the instrument and the protective lining of the carrying case are dry before closing
the case. The case is hermetically sealed and if moisture is trapped inside, the instrument could
rust.
• Consult your Sokkia agent before using the instrument under special conditions such as long
periods of continuous use or high levels of humidity. In general, special conditions are treated as
being outside the scope of the product warranty.
Maintenance
• Wipe off moisture completely if the instrument gets wet during survey work.
• Always clean the instrument before returning it to the case. The lens requires special care. First,
dust it off with the lens brush to remove tiny particles. Then, after providing a little condensation by
breathing on the lens, wipe it with the wiping cloth.
• If the display is dirty, carefully wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. To clean other parts of the instrument or
the carrying case, lightly moisten a soft cloth in a mild detergent solution. Wring out excess water
until the cloth is slightly damp, then carefully wipe the surface of the unit. Do not use any organic
solvents or alkaline cleaning solutions.
• Store the instrument in a dry room where the temperature remains fairly constant.
• Check the tripod for loose fit and loose screws.
• If any trouble is found on the rotatable portion, screws or optical parts (e.g. lens), contact your Sokkia
agent.
• When the instrument is not used for a long time, check it at least once every 3 months.

"23. CHECKS AND ADJUSTMENTS"
• When removing the instrument from the carrying case, never pull it out by force. The empty carrying
case should be closed to protect it from moisture.
• Check the instrument for proper adjustment periodically to maintain the instrument accuracy.
