2. PRECAUTIONS
Charging Battery
• The battery (BDC46C) was not charged at the factory. Charge the battery fully before using.
• Be sure to charge the battery within the charging temperature range.
Charging temperature range:0 to 40°C
• Use only the specified battery or the battery charger. Failures caused by using other batteries or
battery chargers are out of warranty including the main unit.
Warranty policy for Battery
• Battery is an expendable item. The decline in retained capacity depending on the repeated charging/
discharging cycle is out of warranty.
Precautions
• Protect instruments from heavy shocks or vibration.
• Never touch the Remote Controller laser projection port or the total station beam detector. The ability
of the system to perform Turning may be adversely affected.
• Turn the power OFF before removing the battery from the Remote Controller.
• Remove the battery when the Remote Controller is not used for long periods.
• Do not allow sand to come into contact with the battery cover catches. Otherwise sand particles
could jam the motion of the catches. In the event that sand has jammed the catches, hold the unit
so that the catches/button are facing downward and operate the catches/button several times until
the sand has fallen out.
Maintenance
• Wipe off moisture completely if the instrument gets wet during survey work.
• Wipe the Remote Controller laser projection port and total station beam detector with the wiping
cloth (total station accessory).
• To clean the Remote Controller, lightly moisten a soft cloth in a mild detergent solution. Wring out
excess water until the cloth is slightly damp, then carefully wipe the surface of the unit. Do not use
any alkaline cleaning solutions, alcohol, or any other organic solvents on the instrument.
• Wipe the slide pole for the ATP1SII with tissue paper or a cloth when prism movement along the
pole ceases to be smooth. Do not use lubricants.
• Store the instrument in a dry room where the temperature remains fairly constant.
• Check the Remote Controller for proper adjustment periodically to maintain the instrument
accuracy.
Precautions concerning water and dust resistance
The Remote Controller conforms to IP65 specifications for waterproofing and dust resistance when
the battery cover is closed and connector caps are attached correctly.
• Make sure that moisture or dust particles do not come in contact with the terminals.
Operating the instrument with moisture or dust on the terminals may cause damage to the
instrument.
• Make sure that the inside of the carrying case and the instrument are dry before closing the case. If
moisture is trapped inside the case, it may cause the instrument to rust.
