HOW TO USETHIS MANUAL
The SET allowsyou to changethe locationof functionsfor
each key, so it is difficultto determineon which mode and

Therefore,inthis manual, the operationsare mainly
explainedusingthe default locationof the functionsfor keys.
Typefaces are usedinthis manualas follows:

1. PRECAUTIONS
111
* Never placethe SET directly on the ground.
Avoid damaging the tripod head and centeringscrew with sand
or dust.
Do not aim the telescopeat the sun.
Avoid damagingthe LEDof the EDMby usinga solar filter
when the telescope is pointedat the sun.
Protectthe SET with an umbrellaagainstdirect sunlight, rain
and humidity(SET FIFS).
* Handlethe SETwith care. Avoid heavy shocks or vibration.
* When the operatorleaves the SET, the vinyl cover should be
placedon the instrument.
Always switchthe power off beforeremovingthe standard battery.
Removethe standard batteryfrom the SET before putting it in
the carryingcase.
When the SET is placed in the carrying case, follow the layout plan.
* Make surethat the insideof the carrying case and the
instrumentare dry beforeclosingthe case. If moistureis
trapped insidethe case, it may causethe instrumentto rust.
PRECAUTION for SET 5Wf5WS
SET WiWS conformsto IP gradeX7 specificationfor
waterproofing(Immersion-proof)only when the Connectorcaps
are attachedand the BatteryBDC25A is mounted.IPX7does
notguarantee the instrumentif it isusedor leftinwater.
Degree of water resistance
@ Mount the BatteryBDC25Aand attach the Connectorcaps
correctly. When remountingthe batteryor Connectorcaps,
make surewater does not come in contactwith the battery
terminals and connectors. If moistureenters the insideof the
instrument,itcould damage the product.
Make surethatthe inside of the carrying case and the
instrumentare dry before closingthe case. If moisture is
trapped insidethe case, it may causethe instrumentto rust.
* The standardor optionalaccessoriesotherwisethe Battery
