9. Care and Transport
9.1. Storage
Storage of the Instrument
The instrument is a precision instrument. In order to ensure the function and accuracy, when not in use
for a long period of time, the instrument needs to be stored in a dry place without direct sunlight and
within a certain temperature range. About the temperature range refer to 6 Technical Data.
Especially in hot weather when instruments need to be stored in transport vehicles such as cars, it is
important to be aware of the limits of the temperature range.
Storage of the batteries
• The batteries should be removed from the instrument or charger before storing.
• The battery must be fully recharged again before use after long-term storage.
Always keep batteries away from wet conditions. Wet or waterlogged batteries must be completely dried
and checked for proper appearance and voltage before storage and use.
9.2. Transport
Field Manual Transport
• Place the instrument in its original transport case. Carry it properly by hand or use the original
carrying strap.
• Alternatively, by keeping the robust mounting and upward, the instrument can be carried with
the tripod’s legs splayed across on the shoulder.
Collisions and drops of instruments are avoided wherever possible to ensure the safety of persons and
instrument.
Transportation by Transport (car, train, ship, plane, etc.)
When transporting, the transport case must be used. Place the instrument in the case and fasten it
securely so that the body of the instrument is not subjected to violent shocks and vibrations.
When instruments are transported during hot or cold seasons, it is important to note the temperature
range restrictions. After long distance transport, the instrument needs to be checked and calibrated
according to the operating instructions before the instrument can be used.
Battery Transport
National and international regulations and guidelines must be followed when transporting batteries.
