Introduction
Validity of this
manual Description
General This manual applies to TS02, TS06, and TS09 instruments. Where
there are differences between the various instruments they are
clearly described.
The following symbols will identify in each section where the
instruments differ:
• for TS02.
• for TS06.
• for TS09.
Telescope •Measuring with Prism mode: When measuring distances to a
reflector with Electronic Distance Measurement (EDM) mode
"Prism", the telescope uses a wide visible red laser beam, which
emerges coaxially from the telescope's objective.
•Measuring with Non-Prism modes: Instruments that are
equipped with a reflectorless EDM additionally offer the EDM
mode "Non-Prism". When meauring distances with this EDM
mode, the telescope uses a narrow visible red laser beam, which
emerges coaxially from the telescope's objective.

Warning
Do NOT remove the battery during operation of the
instrument, or during the shutdown procedure.
This can result in a file system error and data loss!
Always switch off the instrument by pressing the On/Off key,
and wait until the instrument has shutdown completely before
removing the battery.
