2、PREPARATION FOR MEASUREMENT
2.1 UNPACKING AND STORE OF INSTRUMENT
·Unpacking of instrument
Place the case lightly with the cover upward, and unlock the case, take out the instrument.
·Store of instrument
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 tighten the vertical clamp
screw and lock the case.
2.2 SETTING UP THE INSTRUMENT
Mount the instrument to the tripod. Level and center the instrument precisely to ensure the
best performance.
Operation Reference:
1 Leveling and Centering the Instrument by plumb bob
1) Setting up the tripod
① First, extend the extension legs to suitable length, make the tripod head parellel to the
ground and tighten the screws.
② Make the centre of the tripod and the occupied point approximately on the same plumb
line.
③ Step on the tripod to make sure if it is well stationed on the ground.
2) Attaching the instrument on the tripod
Place the instrument carefully on the tripod head and slide the instrument by loosing the
tripod screw. If the plumb bob is positioned right over the center of the point, slightly tighten
the tripod.
3) Roughly leveling the instrument by using the circular vial
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 through the centers of the two
leveling screw being adjusted .

②Turn the leveling screw C to move the bubble to the center of the circular vial.
4) Precisely leveling by using the plate 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 screws A and B.
②Rotate the instrument 90º(100g) around its vertical axis and turn the remaining leveling
screw or leveling C to center the bubble once more.
③Repeat the steps ①② for each 90º(100g) rotation of the instrument and check whether

☆Be sure to recharge the battery at a temperature of 0°～±45°C, recharging may be
abnormal beyond the specified temperature range .
☆When the indicator lamp does not light after connecting the battery and charger, either
the battery or the charger may be damaged. Please connect professionals for repairing.
·Battery Charging Cautions：
☆Rechargeable battery can be repeatedly recharged 300 to 500 times. Complete discharge
of the battery may shorten its service life.
☆In order to get the maximum service life, be sure to recharge it at least once a month.
2.4 REFLECTOR PRISMS
measuring distance, a refl r m needs to be placed at the target place. Reflector
stems come with single prism and triple prisms, which can be mounted with tribrach onto a
tripod or mounted onto a prism pole. Reflector systems can be self-configured by users according
