Transporting the instrument
When transporting the instrument, Trimble recommends the following:
l Use the instrument case (or preferably, the instrument case inside the original shipping box
with the original foam padding blocks) to transport the instrument. The box(es) are designed to
protect the instrument against shock and vibration.
Ensure that the instrument case is completely closed before moving or carrying it.
l Fix a warning label, HANDLE WITH CARE, to the instrument case or shipping box.
Packing the instrument case into the shipping box
1. If required, assemble the shipping box—open the box, fold in the pair of flaps along the width
of the shipping box, fold in the pair of flaps along the length of the shipping box and then fasten
the seam with tape or staples.
2. Place a foam pad inside the shipping box.
3. Insert the instrument case (with all the items in place) into the shipping box.
4. Place the second foam pad on top of the instrument case.
5. Close the shipping box by folding in the flaps and then fastening the seam with tape or staples.

an unauthorized person opens the instrument cover, the function of the instrument is not guaranteed and the
warranty will be invalidated. The instrument is designed and tested to withstand field conditions, but like all
precision instruments, it requires care and maintenance. To get the best results from the instrument, take the
