NOTICE: Cart Usage If using a cart or tripod dolly, move the setup with special care. Never move the
cart by pulling the power cables. Pushing or pulling the cart with too much force, sudden
stops, or on an uneven surface can cause disturbances of the FAROFocus Premium's normal
functioning.
NOTICE: Rotating Scanner The FAROFocus Premium rotates clockwise up to 360° when performing
a scan. Ensure that the FAROFocus Premium's scanner head can rotate freely and will not
hit any objects during the scan.
NOTICE: Replacement Parts Use only replacement parts authorized by FARO according to the
instructions obtained from FARO. Do not use parts not supplied or recommended by FARO.
Transport
The following precautions must be taken when transporting the laser scanner equipment:
l The laser scanner must be transported in a transport case.
l The laser scanner must be turned off during transportation or shipping.
l Remove the battery from the laser scanner before shipping.
l When carrying the laser scanner, be careful not to drop it. Strong impact can seriously damage the
laser scanner, and render it incapable of proper operation.
l Carry the laser scanner separately from its equipment or, for optimal protection, use the original
transport case.
l When shipping and transporting the laser scanner by rail, sea, air, or road, use its original transport
case and a suitable outer cardboard box for optimal protection against shock and vibration.
l The FARO batteries are lithium-ion batteries and are thus classified as dangerous goods. When
transporting or shipping the FARO batteries, ensure that you observe all applicable local and
international rules and regulations. For further information, contact your local carrier before
transportation or shipping.
l For lithium-ion batteries with less than 100 Wh energy content, an exemption is provided that allows
you to carry such a battery without further paperwork. The maximum battery energy a single person
can carry is 200 Wh.
Ensure that the total energy content of all batteries that any individual person carries is less than 200
Wh, and that no single battery has more than 100 Wh energy content. Review currently applicable
