Whenthe new SET2C isshipped, thetribrach clamp isfixed with
a screw.
Loosen it and leave
it loose.
And if the
SET2C is again shipped, fix the tribrach clamp with the
screw to prevent the tribrach becoming detached from the instru-
ment.
Thespecifications andgeneralappearanceoftheinstrumentmaybe
altered at any time and may differ from those appearing in cata-

2. PRECAUTIONS
Never placethe SET2C directly on the ground.
Avoiddamagingthetripodheadandcentringscrew with sand or
dust.
0 Do not aim thetelescope atthe sun.
Avoid damagingthe LED of the EDM.
0 Protectthe SET2Cwith an umbrella.
against direct sunlight, rain and humidity.
Never carry the SET2C on the tripod to another site.
0 Handle the SET2Cwith care. Avoid heavy shocks or vibration.
0 When the operator leaves the SET2C, the vinyl cover should be
placed onthe instrument.
Alwaysswitchthepoweroffbeforeremovingthestandardbattery.
Removethe standard batteryfrom the SET2C before putting it in
the case.
0 When the SET2C is placed inthe carrying case, follow the layout
plan.
Makesurethatthe SET2C andthe protectiveliningofthecarrying
case are dry before closing the case. The case is hermetically
sealedandifmoistureistrapped inside, damagetotheinstrument
could occur.
