MAINTENANCE AND CARE
Use care to avoid shock to the instrument. Always provide some cushioning to minimize risk
of shock during transportation. The instrument cannot be expected to function properly if
exposed to heavy shock.
Check the battery indicator. Be sure to check the voltage level before using the instrument.
Carrying the instrument. Always remove the instrument from the tripod when carrying at the
job site. If the instrument must be carried on the tripod, hold the instrument as vertically as
possible and keep it in front of you. Never carry the instrument horizontally over your shoulder.
Any long distance transport should be done with the instrument in the carrying case.
Do not expose the instrument to direct sunlight for long periods. Never leave the instrument
exposed to extreme heat longer than necessary. It could affect the instrument´s performance.
Store the instrument properly. The instrument should be stored in an area of low humidity and
where the temperature will not exceed 110° F (45° C). Always remove the batteries before
storing the instrument.
Cleaning the instrument. Any dust on the lenses should be removed first with a small brush
then use a lens tissue or soft clean cloth (use a light touch to avoid scratching the lenses).
Dry the instrument after use in the rain. Do not use harsh chemicals to clean the
instrument or carrying case. A mild detergent or water dampened rag is all that is necessary.
