Care and Transport
9.1
Transport
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
Leica Geosystems 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 international rules and regulations are
observed. Before transportation or shipping, contact your local passenger or freight
transport company.
Field adjustment
Periodically carry out test measurements and perform the field adjustments indicated
in the User Manual, particularly after the product has been dropped, stored for long
periods or transported.
9.2
Storage
Product
Respect the temperature limits when storing the equipment, particularly in summer if
the equipment is inside a vehicle. Refer to "Technical Data" for information about
temperature limits.
Field adjustment
After long periods of storage inspect the field adjustment parameters given in this
user manual before using the product.
Li-Ion and alkaline
batteries
For Li-Ion and alkaline batteries
• Refer to "Technical Data" for information about storage temperature range.
• Remove batteries from the product and the charger before storing.
• After storage recharge batteries before using.
• Protect batteries from damp and wetness. Wet or damp batteries must be dried
before storing or use.
For Li-Ion batteries
• A storage temperature range of -20°C to +30°C/-4°F to 86°F in a dry environment
is recommended to minimise self-discharging of the battery.
• At the recommended storage temperature range, batteries containing a 50% to
100% charge can be stored for up to one year. After this storage period the
batteries must be recharged.
