* Battery power remaining display is omitted in this manual.
Note:
1) The battery operating time will vary depending on the environmental conditions such as
ambient temperature, charging time, the number of times of charging and discharging etc. It
is recommended for safety to charge the battery beforehand or to prepare spare full charged
batteries.
2) For general usage of the battery, see Chapter 12 “POWER SOURCE AND CHARGING” .
3) The battery power remaining display shows the power level regarding to the measurement
mode now operating.
The safety condition indicated by the battery power remaining display in the angle
measurement mode does not necessarily assure the battery‘s ability to be used in the
distance measurement mode.
It may happen that the mode change from the angle mode to the distance mode will stop the
operation because of insufficient battery power for the distance mode which consumes more
power than angle mode.
Note that the EDM unit is working when the pictogram for zero set and the battery power
remaining display shown at the power ON, which shows as an easy battery check before use.
4) When the measurement mode is changed, it rarely may happen that the Battery Power
Remaining Display will decrease or increase two steps momentarily because of the
accuracy of the battery checking system is rough. It is not trouble with the instrument.
