14 Care and Transport
14.1 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, original packaging or equivalent 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 responsible for 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.
14.2 Storage
Product Respect the temperature limits when storing the equipment, particularly in summer if the equipment is
inside a vehicle. Refer to "15 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 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.
• A storage temperature range of 0°C to +30°C / +32°F to +86°F in a dry environment is recommended
to minimize self-discharging of the battery.
• At the recommended storage temperature range, batteries containing a 30% to 50% charge can be
stored for up to one year. After this storage period the batteries must be recharged.
14.3 Cleaning and Drying
Objective, eyepiece and
reflectors
• Blow dust off lenses and prisms.
• 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.
Fogging of prisms Prisms that are cooler than the ambient temperature tend to fog. It is not enough simply to wipe them.
Keep them for some time inside your jacket or in the vehicle to allow them to adjust to the ambient
temperature.
