NOTICE
Dropping, misusing, modifying, storing the product for long periods or
transporting the product
Watch out for erroneous measurement results.
Precautions:
▶Periodically carry out test measurements and perform the field adjust-
ments indicated in the User Manual, particularly after the product has been
subjected to abnormal use as well as before and after important measure-
ments.
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, first contact the safety authorities responsible
for the electrical installations and follow their instructions.
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 traffic.
Precautions:
▶The person responsible for the product must make all users fully aware of
the existing dangers.

8 Safety Directions

WARNING
Inadequate securing of the working site.
This can lead to dangerous situations, for example in traffic, 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
traffic.
CAUTION
Not properly secured accessories.
If the accessories used with the product are not properly secured and the
product is subjected to mechanical shock, for example blows or falling, the
product may be damaged or people can sustain injury.
Precautions:
▶When setting up the product, make sure that the accessories are correctly
adapted, fitted, secured, and locked in position.
▶Avoid subjecting the product to mechanical stress.
DANGER
If the product is used with accessories, for example on masts, 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:
▶•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 authori-
ties 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 protection system. Refer to "1.5.4
Lightning Protection" for a suggestion on how to design a lightning
protection system for the product. Always follow the regulations in
force in your country regarding the design and installation of such a
system. The installation must be carried out by an authorised special-
ist.
•To prevent damages due to indirect lightning strikes (voltage spikes)
cables, for example for antenna, power source or modem should be
protected with appropriate protection elements, like a lightning
arrester. These installations must be carried out by an authorised spe-
cialist.
Safety Directions 9

WARNING
Inappropriate mechanical influences to batteries
During the transport, shipping or disposal of batteries it is possible for inappro-
priate mechanical influences to constitute a fire hazard.
Precautions:
▶Before shipping the product or disposing it, discharge the batteries by the
product until they are flat.
▶When transporting or shipping batteries, the person in charge of the prod-
uct must ensure that the applicable national and international rules and
regulations are observed.
▶Before transportation or shipping, contact your local passenger or freight
transport company.
WARNING
Exposure of batteries to high mechanical stress, high ambient tempera-
tures or immersion into fluids
This can cause leakage, fire or explosion of the batteries.
Precautions:
▶Protect the batteries from mechanical influences and high ambient temper-
atures. Do not drop or immerse batteries into fluids.
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 fire, for example by storing or transporting in pockets.
Precautions:
▶Make sure that the battery terminals do not come into contact with metal-
lic 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 influence, 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.
