Warning While steering or navigating the machine accidents may occur due a) the operator
not paying attention to the surroundings (persons, ditches, traffic, etc), or b)
malfunctions (… of a system component, interference, etc.).
Precautions:
The operator assures that the machine is operated, guided and monitored by a qual-
ified user (e.g., a licensed driver). The user has to be able to take emergency meas-
ures, for example an emergency stop.

Warning If battery terminals come in contact with jewellery, keys, metallised paper or other
metals, short circuited battery terminals can overheat and cause injury or fire, for
example by storing or transporting in pockets.
Precautions:
Make sure that the battery terminals do not come into contact with metallic objects.
Danger If the product is used with accessories, for example, masts, staffs, or poles, you may
increase the risk of being struck by lightning. Danger from high voltages 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 may 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 in close proximity to power lines. If it is essential to
work in such an environment contact the safety authorities responsible for elec-
trical installations and follow their instructions.
• To prevent damages due to indirect lightning strikes (voltage spikes) cables, for
example for antenna, power source or modem should be protected with appro-
priate 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 additionally by unplugging all
systems components and disconnecting all connecting cables and supply cables.

product to function smoothly in an environment where electromagnetic radiation and
electrostatic discharges are present, and without causing electromagnetic distur-
bances to other equipment.
Warning Electromagnetic radiation can cause disturbances in other equipment.
Although the product meets the strict regulations and standards that are in force in
this respect, Leica Geosystems cannot completely exclude the possibility that other
equipment may be disturbed.
Caution There is a risk that disturbances may be caused in other equipment if the product is
used in conjunction with accessories from other manufacturers, for example field
computers, personal computers, two-way radios, non-standard cables or external
batteries.
Precautions:
Use only the equipment and accessories recommended by Leica Geosystems. When
combined with the product, they meet the strict requirements stipulated by the
guidelines and standards. When using computers and two-way radios, pay attention
to the information about electromagnetic compatibility provided by the manufac-
turer.

Caution Disturbances caused by electromagnetic radiation can result in erroneous measure-
ments. Although the product meets the strict regulations and standards which are in
force in this respect, Leica Geosystems cannot completely exclude the possibility that
the product may be disturbed by very intense electromagnetic radiation produced by,
for example, nearby radio transmitters, two–way radios, or diesel generators.
Precautions:
Check the plausibility of results obtained under these conditions.
Warning If the product is operated with connecting cables attached at only one of their two
ends, the permitted level of electromagnetic radiation may be exceeded and the
correct functioning of other products may be impaired.
Precautions:
While the product is in use, connecting cables must be connected at both ends.
