Battery power remaining indicator
The battery power remaining indicator displays the current
power condition.
The battery operating time varies depending on the
environmental conditions such as ambient temperature, how
long the battery has been charged, the number of times of
charging and discharging. It is recommended to charge the
battery before use or to prepare spare, fully charged batteries.
The battery power remaining display shows the power level regarding the current measurement
mode. The distance measurement mode consumes more power than angle measurement mode. Pay
particular attention to this when switching angle measurement mode to distance measurement
mode, because insufficient battery power may lead to interrupted operation. Battery power status
should always be checked prior to outdoor operation.
When the measurement mode is changed, the battery power does not immediately update. The
battery power indicating system shows the general status but not the instantaneous change of
battery power.
Setting up the tripod
Mount the instrument to the tripod. Level and center the instrument precisely to ensure the best
performance.
