Transport in the field
When transporting the product in the
field, always make sure that you:
• Either carry the instrument in its
original transport case
• Or carry the tripod with its legs
splayed across your shoulder,
keeping the attached instrument
upright.
Transport in a road vehicle
Never carry the instrument loose in a
road vehicle. 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 Leica Geosystems packaging
transport container and cardboard
box, or its equivalent, to protect
against shock and vibration.

Before transportation or shipping,
contact your local passenger or freight
transport company.

Nickel-Metal Hydride Batteries
• The storage temperature range is
-40°C to +55°C (-40°F to +131°F).
• We recommend storage in the
temperature range from 0°C to
+20°C (+32°F to +68°F), in a dry
environment to minimize self-
discharge.
• In the recommended temperature
range, fully charged NiMH batteries
can be stored for a maximum of 180
days. NiMH batteries must then be
recharged again.
• Remove the batteries from the
product for storage.
• After storage, recharge the battery
before use.
