Cleaning and Drying
Product and acces-
sories
• Blow dust off lenses and prisms.
• Never touch the glass with your fingers.
• 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 can attack the polymer
components.
Fogging of prisms
Prisms that are cooler than the ambient temperature tend to fog. It is not enough
simply to wipe them. Keep them for some time inside your jacket or in the vehicle to
allow them to adjust to the ambient temperature.
Damp products
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 completely dry.
Always close the transport container when using in the field.
Cables and plugs
Keep plugs clean and dry. Blow away any dirt lodged in the plugs of the connecting
cables.

Maintenance
An inspection of the motorisation in motorised instruments must be done in a Leica
Geosystems authorised service centre. Leica Geosystems recommends an inspection
of the product every 12 months.
For instruments which are in intensive or permanent use, for example tunnelling or
monitoring, the recommended inspection cycle may be reduced.
