Notice
Although GeoPro K2 series handheld is made of corrosion-resistant and impact-resistant
materials, this kind of sophisticated instrument still needs careful usage and maintenance.
Please preserve the handheld in dry environment as possible. To improve its stability and
service life, the handheld should avoid being exposed to extreme environment, such as
damp, high or low temperature, corrosive gas or liquid and etc.
To ensure the continuity and quality of satellite tracking, the space over observation site
should be as open as possible, without large obstacles over 15°elevating angle. To reduce
various electromagnetic interference to GNSS satellite signal, please make sure no strong
electromagnetic interference in 200m range around the observation site, such as TV tower,
microwave station, high-voltage transmission. To avoid or to reduce the occurrence of
multipath influence, the site should be set far away from the terrain and ground features
where the electromagnetic wave signal reflection is strong, such as high buildings, large
area waters, etc.
Warnings:
This equipment contains ESDS (Electrostatic Discharge Sensitive Device), with level
C electrostatic anti-interference test. To touch, move or plug the equipment, please
follow the ESD (Electro-Static Discharge) instruction.
Must be used and preserved in the stipulated temperature range. For details, please
refer to the chapter Technical Parameters.
