Ⅰ. Preparation and Setup

1. Precaution

Full-recharge the 2 batteries before going to work site.

During the setup of instrument, carefully hold the handle at all time.

Don’t put instrument directly on the ground.

Working in a rainy day please use rain cover to protect instrument.Working under strong sunlight, don’t aim to the sun, please use solar filter.

In case of non-using for long time, separate battery from instrument. Recharge the battery 1 time each month.

Don’t stare into laser！
