5 Care and Transport
5.1 Transport
When transporting the equipment in the eld, always make sure that you:
•
either carry the product in its original container,
•
or in the backpack,
•
or carry the tripod with its legs splayed across your shoulder, keeping the
attached product upright.
Never carry the product loose in a road vehicle, as it can be affected by shock
and vibration. Always carry the product in its container and secure it.
For products for which no container is available use the original packaging or
its equivalent.
When transporting the product by rail, air or sea, always use the complete ori-
ginal Leica Geosystems packaging, container and cardboard box, or its equival-
ent, to protect against shock and vibration.
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.
5.2 Check & Adjust
For units that are exposed to high mechanical forces, for example through fre-
quent transport or rough handling, perform the Check & Adjust periodically.
Perform the Check & Adjust also for units, which were stored for a long
period.
The Check & Adjust procedure is a smart and user-friendly solution. It does
not require a specic measurement eld having a prescribed conguration of
targets. This feature makes Check & Adjust a quick and fully automated pro-
cedure that allows the user to:
•
check the current angular accuracy of the instrument,
•
adjust the angular parameters to improve the angular accuracy of the
instrument.
Refer to the separate RTC360/RTC360 LT Check & Adjust User Manual:
•
for more information about the Check & Adjust,
•
how to select a suitable location to perform a Check & Adjust.

Before performing the Check & Adjust, read the separate RTC360/
RTC360 LT Check & Adjust User Manual.
5.3 Storage
Respect the temperature limits when storing the equipment, particularly in
summer if the equipment is inside a vehicle. Refer to 6.5 Environmental Spe-
cications for information about temperature limits.
