RL-H5A (Using the dry cell batteries)
Replacing the dry cell batteries
1
Remove the DB-79A battery holder by turning battery holder knob to
“OPEN” side.
2
Install the new 4xD size dry cell batteries (alkaline) referring to the
illustration on the battery holder.*1), 2), 3)
3
Install the battery holder. Tighten the battery cover knob to “LOCK”
side.
*1 Replace all 4 batteries with new ones at the same time. Do not mix
used and new batteries, and do not mix different types of batteries
together.
*2 Use alkaline dry cells.
Nickel hydrogen dry cells and nickel cadmium dry cells can be used
too, but the operating time is different from the time of alkaline dry
cells.
*3 Generally, performances of dry cell deteriorate temporarily in low
temperature, but recover in normal temperature.
• It is possible to remove the dry cell batteries from the DB-79A battery
holder and use the battery pack BT-79Q.
LS-80L
Replacing the dry cell batteries
1
Keep pushing the battery cover in 1 direction, and then try to slide
the cover in 2 direction.The cover does not move but it will be open.
2
Take out the batteries and place new ones (2xAA size
alkaline dry
cell batteries) into the battery box.
3
Press the lid down and click to close.
RL-H5A (Using the rechargeable battery)
Be sure to charge the battery fully before using it for the first time or after not using it for long periods.
BT-79Q
DB-79A
• The charger will become rather hot during use. This is normal.
• Do not use batteries other than those designated.
• For longer battery life, conform to the suggested charging time to the extent possible.
• Be sure to charge stored battery source every 3 or 6 months and store in a place at 30°C or below. If you allow the battery to become completely
discharged, it will have an effect on future charging.
• Batteries generate power using a chemical reaction and as a result have a limited lifetime. Even when in storage and not used for long periods, battery
capacity deteriorates with the passage of time. This may result in the operating time of the battery shortening despite having been charged correctly.
In this event, a new battery is required.
DB-79A
Charging Battery
• Be sure to charge the battery within the charging temperature range.
Charging temperature range: 10 to 40°C
• Use only the specified battery or the battery charger. Failures caused by
using other batteries or battery chargers are out of warranty including the
main unit.
Warranty policy for Battery
• Battery is an expendable item. The decline in retained capacity depending on
the repeated charging/discharging cycle is out of warranty.
Other precautions
• Before starting work or during operation, check that the instrument is function-
ing correctly and performance is normal.
• Protect the instrument from heavy shocks or vibration.
• Remove batteries before storing when the instrument will not be used for peri-
ods on 1 month or more. Batteries may leak fluid when left inside the instru-
ment causing malfunction.
Maintenance
• Always clean the instrument before returning it to the case.
• Wipe off moisture completely if the instrument gets wet during survey work.
• Store the instrument in a dry room where the temperature remains fairly con-
stant.
CAUTION
• Perform checks at start of work and periodic checks and adjust-
ments with the laser beam emitted under normal conditions.
• When the instrument is not being used, turn off the power.
• When disposing of the instrument, destroy the battery connector
so that the laser beam cannot be emitted.
• Avoid setting the instrument at heights at which the path of the
laser may strike pedestrians or drivers at head height. Operate
the instrument with due caution to avoid injuries that may be
caused by the laser beam unintentionally striking a person in the
eye.
• Only those who have received training as per the following items
shall use this product.
• Read this manual for usage procedures for this product.
• Hazardous protection procedures (read "LASER SAFETY
INFORMATION")
• Requisite protective gear (read "LASER SAFETY INFOR-
MATION")
• Accident reporting procedures (stipulate procedures before-
hand for transporting the injured and contacting physicians
in case there are laser-induced injuries).
• Persons working within the range of the laser beam are advised
to wear eye protection which corresponds to the laser wavelength
of the instrument being used.(OD2)
• Areas in which the laser is used should be posted with a standard
laser warning sign.
The RL-H5A is classified as a Class 3R Laser Product according to IEC
Standard Publication 60825-1 Ed.3.0: 2014 and United States Government
Code of Federal Regulation FDA CDRH 21CFR Part1040.10 and 1040.11
(Complies with FDA performance standards for laser products except for
deviations pursuant to Laser Notice No.50, dated June 24, 2007.)
WARNING
• Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those
specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
• Never intentionally point the laser beam at another person. The laser beam is
injurious to the eyes and skin. If an eye injury is caused by exposure to the laser
beam, seek immediate medical attention from a licensed ophthalmologist.
• Do not look directly into the laser beam. Doing so could cause permanent eye
damage.
• Do not stare at the laser beam. Doing so could cause permanent eye damage.
• Never look at the laser beam through a telescope, binoculars or other optical
instruments. Doing so could cause permanent eye damage.
Beam aperture
• It is possible to remove the battery pack BT-79Q from the DB-79A
battery holder and use the dry cell batteries.
Grasp the specified place on the battery holder, which is shown
on the right, and remove the battery pack.
The LED of BT-79Q indicates the charging status:
Red ON
: Charging.
OFF
: Charging completed.
Red blinking slowly : Ni-MH BT-79Q battery pack protection feature is working automatically.
Let the battery pack fall within its designated charging temperature range (10 to 40°C), unplug the AD-17B/C/D/E from
the battery pack and then check the LED status. Solid red LED indicates charging has started again. Slow blinking red
LED indicates the Ni-MH battery is still out of the charging temperature range. Wait for a while, unplug the AD-17B/C/D/E
and then check the LED again.
The instrument has a protection feature which works when the batteries are under a high or low temperature state. In such a case, charging will
stop automatically to protect nickel hydride batteries.
Red blinking quickly: The battery is not charged properly. Please contact your local dealer.
