  • Page 6: Safety Directions

    Safety Directions General Description The following directions enable the person responsible for the product, and the person who actually uses the equipment, to anticipate and avoid operational hazards. The person responsible for the product must ensure that all users understand these directions and adhere to them.

  • Page 7: Definition Of Use

    Responsibilities Manufacturer of the Leica Geosystems AG, CH-9435 Heerbrugg, hereinafter referred to as Leica product Geosystems, is responsible for supplying the product, including the user man- ual and original accessories, in a safe condition.

  • Page 8: Hazards Of Use

    • To be familiar with local regulations relating to safety and accident preven- • tion. To inform Leica Geosystems immediately if the product and the application • becomes unsafe. • To ensure that the national laws, regulations and conditions for the opera- tion of the product are respected.
  • Page 9 WARNING Distraction/loss of attention During dynamic applications, for example stakeout procedures, there is a dan- ger of accidents occurring if the user does not pay attention to the environ- mental conditions around, for example obstacles, excavations or traffic. Precautions: ▶ The person responsible for the product must make all users fully aware of the existing dangers.
  • Page 10 WARNING Inappropriate mechanical influences to batteries During the transport, shipping or disposal of batteries it is possible for inappro- priate mechanical influences to constitute a fire hazard. Precautions: ▶ Before shipping the product or disposing it, discharge the batteries by the product until they are flat.

  • Page 38: Check & Adjust

    Check & Adjust Overview Description Leica Geosystems instruments are manufactured, assembled and adjusted to the best possible quality. Quick temperature changes, shock or stress can cause deviations and decrease the instrument accuracy. It is therefore recom- mended to check and adjust the instrument from time to time. This check and adjust can be done in the field by running through specific measurement pro- cedures.
