10. Care and Transport
10.1Transport
Transport in the field
When transporting the equipment in the field, always make sure
that you
• either carry the product in its original transport container,
• or carry the tripod with its legs splayed across your shoulder,
keeping the attached product upright.
Transport in a road vehicle
Never carry the product loose in a road vehicle, as it can be
affected by shock and vibration. Always carry the product in its
transport container and secure it.
Shipping
When transporting the product by rail, air or sea, always use the
complete original GeoMax packaging, transport container and
cardboard box, or its equivalent, to protect against shock and
vibration.
Shipping, transport of batteries
When transporting or shipping batteries, the person in charge of
the product must ensure that the applicable national and interna-
tional rules and regulations are observed. Before transportation or
shipping, contact your local passenger or freight transport
company.
Field adjustment
After transport, inspect the field adjustment parameters given in
this user manual before using the product.
10.2Storage
Product
Respect the temperature limits when storing the equipment, partic-
ularly in summer if the equipment is inside a vehicle. Refer to "12.
Technical Data" for information about temperature limits.
Field adjustment
After long periods of storage inspect the field adjustment parame-
ters given in this user manual before using the product.
If the equipment is to be stored for a long time, remove the alkaline
batteries from the product in order to avoid the danger of leakage.
10.3Cleaning and Drying
Product and Accessories
• Blow dust off lenses.
• 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 may attack the polymer components.
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. Do not repack until everything is completely dry.
Always close the transport container when using in the field.
