Charging/firsttimeuse
• Thebatterymustbechargedpriortousingitforthefirsttimebecauseitisdeliveredwith
anenergycontentaslowaspossible.
• Fornewbatteriesorbatteriesthathavebeenstoredforalongtime(>threemonths),itis
effectualtomakeonlyonecharge/dischargecycle.
• Thepermissibletemperaturerangeforchargingisbetween0°Cto+40°C/+32°Fto
+104°F.Foroptimalchargingwerecommendchargingthebatteriesatalowambient
temperatureof+10°Cto+20°C/+50°Fto+68°Fifpossible.
• Itisnormalforthebatterytobecomewarmduringcharging.Usingthechargersrecom‐
mendedbyStonex®,itisnotpossibletochargethebatteryifthetemperatureistoohigh.

3.6 DistanceMeasurementsGuidelinesforCorrectResults
Description
Alaserdistancer(EDM)isincorporatedintotheR6instruments.Inallversions,thedistancecan
bedeterminedbyusingavisibleredlaserbeamwhichemergescoaxiallyfromthetelescope
objective.TherearetwoEDMmodes:
RLmeasurements
• Whenadistancemeasurementistriggered,theEDMmeasurestotheobjectwhichisinthe
beampathatthatmoment.Ifatemporaryobstruction,forexampleapassingvehicle,
heavyrain,fogorsnowisbetweentheinstrumentandthepointtobemeasured,theEDM
maymeasuretotheobstruction.
• Besurethatthelaserbeamisnotreflectedbyanythingclosetothelineofsight,for
examplehighlyreflectiveobjects.
CODING
Tofind/entercodes.Referto"7Coding".
STN
Toenterstationdataandsetthestation.
Set HA
Tosetthehorizontaldirectionorientation.
HA / HA
Tosetthehorizontalanglereadingtotheleft(anti‐
clockwise)ortotheright(clockwise).

• Avoidinterruptingthemeasuringbeamwhiletakingreflectorlessmeasurementsor
measurementsusingreflectivefoils.
• Donotmeasurewithtwoinstrumentstothesametargetsimultaneously.
IRmeasurements
• AccuratemeasurementstoprismsshouldbemadeinIR‐Defaultmode.
• MeasurementstostronglyreflectingtargetssuchastrafficlightsinPrismmodewithouta
prismshouldbeavoided.Themeasureddistancesmaybewrongorinaccurate.
• Whenadistancemeasurementistriggered,theEDMmeasurestotheobjectwhichisinthe
beampathatthatmoment.Ifforexamplepeople,cars,animals,orswayingbranchescross
thelaserbeamwhileameasurementisbeingtaken,afractionofthelaserbeamis
reflectedfromtheseobjectsandmayleadtoincorrectdistancevalues.
• Measurementstoprismsareonlycriticalifanobjectcrossesthemeasuringbeamata
distanceof0to30 mandthedistancetobemeasuredismorethan300 m.
• Inpractice,becausethemeasuringtimeisveryshort,theusercanalwaysfindawayof
avoidingunwantedobjectsfrominterferringinthebeampath.
Redlasertoprism
• RL‐LongRangemodeenablesdistancemeasurementsofover3.5 kmtostandardprisms
usingthevisibleredlaserbeam.
Redlasertoreflectorfoil
• Thevisibleredlaserbeamcanalsobeusedtomeasuretoreflectivefoils.Toguaranteethe
accuracytheredlaserbeammustbeperpendiculartothereflectorfoilanditmustbewell
adjusted.
• Makesuretheadditiveconstantbelongstotheselectedtarget(reflector).
Warning
Duetolasersafetyregulationsandmeasuringaccuracy,usingtheLongRangeReflectorless
EDMisonlyallowedtoprismsthataremorethan1000 m(3300 ft)away.
