1.5 Hazards of Use
DANGER
Risk of electrocution
Because of the risk of electrocution, it is dangerous to use poles, levelling
staffs and extensions in the vicinity of electrical installations such as power
cables or electrical railways.
Precautions:
▶Keep at a safe distance from electrical installations. If it is essential to
work in this environment, rst contact the safety authorities responsible
for the electrical installations and follow their instructions.

Safety Directions 7
DANGER
Risk of being struck by lightning
If the product is used with accessories, for example on masts, staffs, poles,
you may increase the risk of being struck by lightning. Danger from high vol-
tages also exists near power lines. Lightning, voltage peaks, or the touching of
power lines can cause damage, injury and death.
Precautions:
▶Do not use the product in a thunderstorm as you can increase the risk of
being struck by lightning.
▶Be sure to remain at a safe distance from electrical installations. Do not
use the product directly under or close to power lines. If it is essential to
work in such an environment contact the safety authorities responsible
for electrical installations and follow their instructions.
▶If the product has to be permanently mounted in an exposed location, it is
advisable to provide a lightning conductor system. A suggestion on how to
design a lightning conductor for the product is given below. Always follow
the regulations in force in your country regarding grounding antennas and
masts. These installations must be carried out by an authorised specialist.
▶To prevent damages due to indirect lightning strikes (voltage spikes)
cables, for example for antenna, power source or modem should be pro-
tected with appropriate protection elements, like a lightning arrester.
These installations must be carried out by an authorised specialist.
▶If there is a risk of a thunderstorm, or if the equipment is to remain
unused and unattended for a long period, protect your product addition-
ally by unplugging all systems components and disconnecting all connect-
ing cables and supply cables, for example, instrument - antenna.
WARNING
Distraction/loss of attention
During dynamic applications, for example stakeout procedures, there is a dan-
ger of accidents occurring if the user does not pay attention to the environ-
mental conditions around, for example obstacles, excavations or trafc.
Precautions:
▶The person responsible for the product must make all users fully aware of
the existing dangers.
WARNING
Inadequate securing of the working site
This can lead to dangerous situations, for example in trafc, on building sites
and at industrial installations.
Precautions:
▶Always ensure that the working site is adequately secured.
▶Adhere to the regulations governing safety, accident prevention and road
trafc.
8 Safety Directions
WARNING
Lightning strike
If the product is used with accessories, for example masts, staffs, poles, you
may increase the risk of being struck by lightning.
Precautions:
▶Do not use the product in a thunderstorm.
WARNING
Exposure of batteries to high mechanical stress, high ambient tempera-
tures or immersion into uids
This can cause leakage, re or explosion of the batteries.
Precautions:
▶Protect the batteries from mechanical inuences and high ambient tem-
peratures. Do not drop or immerse batteries into uids.
WARNING
Short circuit of battery terminals
If battery terminals are short circuited e.g. by coming in contact with jewellery,
keys, metallised paper or other metals, the battery can overheat and cause
injury or re, for example by storing or transporting in pockets.
Precautions:
▶Make sure that the battery terminals do not come into contact with met-
allic objects.
WARNING
Incorrect fastening of the external antenna
Incorrect fastening of the external antenna to vehicles or transporters poses
the risk of the equipment being broken by mechanical inuence, vibration or
airstream. This may result in accident and physical injury.
Precautions:
▶Attach the external antenna professionally. The external antenna must be
secured additionally, for example by use of a safety cord. Ensure that the
mounting device is correctly mounted and able to carry the weight of the
external antenna (>1 kg) safely.
Safety Directions 9
WARNING
Improper disposal
If the product is improperly disposed of, the following can happen:
•If polymer parts are burnt, poisonous gases are produced which may
impair health.
•If batteries are damaged or are heated strongly, they can explode and
cause poisoning, burning, corrosion or environmental contamination.
•By disposing of the product irresponsibly you may enable unauthorised
persons to use it in contravention of the regulations, exposing themselves
and third parties to the risk of severe injury and rendering the environ-
ment liable to contamination.
Precautions:
▶The product must not be disposed with household waste.
Dispose of the product appropriately in accordance with
the national regulations in force in your country.

2.3 Data Collection
The instrument can be connected with Leica Zeno GIS software and Leica Zeno
hardware or selected Android, iOS or Windows software and devices to collect
or verify assets in the eld and to collect raw data. Our software and ofce
software fully supports the collected GG04 plus data either to review and
adapt or to post-process collected raw data. The setting for the GG04 plus
Smart Antenna can be adjusted with different provided tools.
2.4 Power Concept
Use the batteries, chargers and accessories recommended by Leica Geosys-
tems to ensure the correct functionality of the instrument.
Power for the instrument can be supplied internally only.
Internal power supply: One battery (GEB212) ts into the instrument.
•On: The instrument turns on as soon as the power supply is connected
and the power key is pressed.
•Off: To turn off the instrument push either the power key or disconnect
the power supply.
If an instrument connected to a low powered external battery continues to
operate, total discharge of the battery can occur.
2.5 Leica Zeno GIS Software
All Leica Zeno GIS hardware and software can utilise the GG04 plus with a sur-
vey pole. The compatible hardware includes the Zeno 5, Zeno 10, Zeno 15,
Zeno Tab 1, Zeno Tab 2, CS25, CS25 plus, CS25 GNSS, CS25 LRBT and selected
Android, iOS or Windows devices.
With the Leica Zeno GIS software you can do different things:
•Seamlessly connect to the GG04 plus Smart Antenna through Bluetooth.
•Compute positions.
•Congure the Smart Antenna.
•Collect raw data from the Smart Antenna.
•Collect live data.
•Congure RTK connections to improve positioning accuracy.
•Export collected data in different formats.
Refer to the respective software documentation for further information.
A Leica Zeno Connect license for third-party Android or iOS devices is already
included with the purchase of the instrument. Leica Zeno Connect for third-
party devices can be found in the corresponding App Stores.

3 Operation
3.1 Guidelines for Correct Results with GNSS Surveys
Successful GNSS measurements require undisturbed satellite signal reception.
For kinematic use, be sure to select measurement positions with best satellite
reception possible. Use the instrument in location which is free of obstruc-
tions such as trees, buildings or mountains for best measurement results.
Centre the instrument precisely over the target positions.
3.2 Batteries
3.2.1 Operating Principles
•The battery must be charged before using it for the rst time because it is
delivered with an energy content as low as possible.
•The permissible temperature range for charging is from 0 °C to
+40 °C/+32 °F to +104 °F. For optimal charging, we recommend charging
the batteries at a low ambient temperature of +10 °C to +20 °C/+50 °F to
+68 °F if possible.
•It is normal for the battery to become warm during charging. Using the
chargers recommended by Leica Geosystems, it is not possible to charge
the battery once the temperature is too high.
•For new batteries or batteries that have been stored for a long time
(> three months), it is effectual to make only one charge/discharge cycle.
•For Li-Ion batteries, a single discharging and charging cycle is sufcient.
We recommend carrying out the process when the battery capacity indica-
ted on the charger or on a Leica Geosystems product deviates signicantly
from the actual battery capacity available.
•The batteries can be operated from −20 °C to +55 °C/−4 °F to +131 °F.
•Low operating temperatures reduce the capacity that can be drawn; high
operating temperatures reduce the service life of the battery.

software.
Connection between the GG04 plus instrument and the eld controller is made
through Bluetooth. All hardware is xed on a Leica carbon pole in this exam-
ple.
•The antenna is mounted directly using screw tting.
•Carbon bre poles are used. They can be replaced with their aluminium
equivalent without any change to these instructions.
