2. Do notstore the instrument in extremely high or low temperature, in order to
avoidthesuddenorgreatchangeoftemperature.
3. When the instrument is not in use, store it in the case and avoid shock, dust
andhumidity.
4. If there is great difference between the temperature in work site and that in
store place, you should leave the instrument in the case till it adapts to the
temperatureofenvironment.
5. If the instrument has not been used for a long time, you should remove the
batteryforseparatestorage.Thebatteryshouldbechargedonceamonth.
6. When transporting the instrument should be placed in its carrying case, it is
recommendedthatcushionedmaterialshouldbeusedaroundthecaseforsupport.
7. For less vibration and better accuracy, the instrument should be set up on a
woodentripodratherthananaluminumtripod.
8.Cleanexposedopticalpartswithdegreasedcotton orlesstissueonly!
9. Clean the instrument surface with a woolen cloth after use. If it gets wet, dryit
immediately.
10. Before opening, inspect the power, functions and indications of the
instrumentas wellasitsinitialsettingandcorrectionparameters.

2. PREPARATION FOR MEASUREMENT
2.1 UNPACKINGAND STORE OF INSTRUMENT
·Unpacking
Place the case lightly with the cover upward, and unlock the case, take outthe
instrument.
·Storeofinstrument
Cover the telescope cap, place the instrument into the case with the vertical
clamp screw and circular vial upwards (Objective lens towards tribrach), and slightly
tightentheverticalclampscrewandlockthe case.
2.2 INSTRUMENT SETUP
Mount the instrument to the tripod. Level and center the instrument precisely to
ensure thebestperformance.
OperationReference:
1. LevelingandCenteringtheInstrumentbyplumbbob
1) Settingupthetripod
①First, extend the extension legs to suitable length, make the tripod head
paralleltothegroundand tightenthescrews.
②Make the center of the tripod and the occupied point approximately on the
sameplumbline.
③Steponthetripodtomakesureifitiswellstationedontheground.
2)Attachingtheinstrumentonthetripod
Place the instrument carefully on the tripod head and slide the instrument
by loosening the tripod screw. If the plumb bob is positioned right over the
centerof thepoint,slightlytighten thetripod.
3)Roughlylevelingtheinstrumentbyusing thecircularvial
①Turn the leveling screw A and B to move the bubble in the circular vial, in
which case the bubble is located on a line perpendicular to a line running
throughthe centersofthe twolevelingscrewbeingadjusted.

②TurnthelevelingscrewCtomovethebubbletothecenterof thecircularvial.
4) Preciselylevelingbyusingtheplate vial
①Rotate the instrument horizontally by loosening the Horizontal Clamp Screw
and place the plate vial parallel to the line connecting leveling screw A and B,
and then bring the bubble to the center of the plate vial by turning the leveling
screwsAand B.
②Rotate the instrument 90º(100g) around its vertical axis and turn the
remaininglevelingscreworlevelingCtocenterthebubbleoncemore.
③Repeat the steps ①② for each 90º(100g) rotation of the instrument and
checkwhetherthebubbleiscorrectlycenteredinalldirections.
2. Centeringbyusingtheopticalplummet
1) Settripod
Lift tripod to suitable height, ensure equal length of three legs, spread and
make tripod head parallel to the ground, and place it right above the
measurementstationpoint.Propuptripodonthegroundandfixoneleg.
2)Installinstrumentandcollimatethe point
Set instrument carefully on tripod, tighten the central connecting screw and
adjust optical plummet to make the reticle distinctly. Hold the other two unfixed

legs with both hands and adjust position of these two legs through observation
of optical plummet. As it approximately aims at the station point, makeall three
legs fixed on the ground. Adjust three leg screws of the instrument to make
opticalplummetcollimatepreciselytothestationpoint.
3)Usecircularvialtoroughlyleveltheinstrument.
Adjust length of three legs of tripod; make the circular vial bubble of the
instrumentinthemiddle.
4)Useplatevialtoleveltheinstrumentaccurately.
①Rotate the instrument horizontally by loosening the Horizontal Clamp Screw
and place the plate vial parallel to the line connecting leveling screw A and B,
and then bring the bubble to the center of the plate vial by turning the leveling
screwsAand B.
②Rotate the instrument 90℃, make it perpendicular to the connecting line of
level screws Aand B.Turn level screw Cto makethebubbleofthe plate vialin
the middle.
5) Precisely centeringandleveling
Through observation of optical plummet, slightly loosen the central
connecting screw and movethe instrumentevenly(Don’trotate theinstrument),
makingtheinstrumentpreciselycollimatingto thestationpoint.Thentightenthe
centralconnectingscrewandleveltheinstrumentpreciselyagain.
Repeat this operation till the instrument collimate precisely to the
measurementstationpoint.
2.3 BATTERY POWER REMAINING DISPLAY

Note:
①The battery operating time will vary depending on the environmental conditions

such as ambient temperature, charging time, the number of times of charging and
discharging etc. It is recommended for safety to charge the battery beforehand or to
preparespare fullchargedbatteries.
②Thebattery power remaining display shows the power level regarding the current
measurementmode.Thedistancemeasurementmodeconsumesmorepowerthan
angle measurement mode, so the power enough for the latter is not sure applicable
for the previous one. Pay particular attention to this when switching angle
measurement mode to distance measurement mode, because insufficient battery
powermightleadtointerruptedoperation.
● Before outdoor operation, battery power status should be well checked.
③When the measurement mode is changed, the battery power would not
immediately show the decrease or increase. The battery power indicating system
