Care and Transport
5.1
Transport
Never carry the product loose in a road vehicle, as it can be affected by shock
and vibration. Always carry the product in its container and secure it.
For products for which no container is available use the original packaging or
its equivalent.
When transporting the product by rail, air or sea, always use the complete ori-
ginal Leica Geosystems packaging, container and cardboard box, or its equival-
ent, to protect against shock and vibration.
When transporting or shipping batteries, the person responsible for the
product must ensure that the applicable national and international rules and
regulations are observed. Before transportation or shipping, contact your local
passenger or freight transport company.
5.2
Storage
Respect the temperature limits when storing the equipment, particularly in
summer if the equipment is inside a vehicle. Refer to
information about temperature limits.
•
for information about storage temperature
range
•
Remove batteries from the product and the charger before storing
•
After storage recharge batteries before using
•
Protect batteries from damp and wetness. Wet or damp batteries must be
dried before storing or use
•
A storage temperature range of 0 °C to +30 °C / +32 °F to +86 °F in a dry
environment is recommended to minimize self-discharging of the battery
•
At the recommended storage temperature range, batteries containing a
40% to 50% charge can be stored for up to one year. After this storage
period the batteries must be recharged
5.3
Cleaning and Drying
•
Use only a clean, soft, lint-free cloth for cleaning. If necessary, moisten
the cloth with water or pure alcohol. Do not use other liquids; these may
attack the polymer components.
Dry the product, the transport container, the foam inserts and the accessories
at a temperature not greater than 40 °C/104 °F and clean them. Remove the
battery cover and dry the battery compartment. Do not repack until everything
is dry. Always close the transport container when using in the field.
