8 Care and Transport
8.1 Transport
Transport in a road
vehicle
Never carry the product loose in a road vehicle, as it can be affected by shock and
vibration. Always carry the product in its transport container, original packaging or
equivalent and secure it.
Shipping When transporting the product by rail, air or sea, always use the complete original
Leica Geosystems packaging, transport container and cardboard box, or its equivalent,
to protect against shock and vibration.
8.2 Storage
Product Respect the temperature limits when storing the equipment, particularly in summer if
the equipment is inside a vehicle. Refer to "9 Technical Data" for information about
temperature limits.
Li-Ion batteries • Refer to "Technical Data" for information about storage temperature range.
• Remove batteries from the product and the charger before storing.
• After storage recharge batteries before using.
• Protect batteries from damp and wetness. Wet or damp batteries must be dried
before storing or use.
• A storage temperature range of 0°C to +30°C / +32°F to +86°F in a dry environment
is recommended to minimize self-discharging of the battery.
• At the recommended storage temperature range, batteries containing a 40% to
50% charge can be stored for up to one year. After this storage period the batteries
must be recharged.
8.3 Cleaning and Drying
Product and
accessories
• Use only a clean, soft, lint-free cloth for cleaning. If necessary, moisten the cloth
with water or pure alcohol. Do not use other liquids; these may attack the polymer
components.
For power supplies and chargers:
• Use only a clean, soft, lint-free cloth for cleaning.
Dry the product, the transport container, the foam inserts and the accessories at a
temperature not greater than 40°C/104°F and clean them. Remove the battery cover
and dry the battery compartment. Do not repack until everything is dry. Always close
the transport container when using in the field.
Cables and plugs Keep plugs clean and dry. Blow away any dirt lodged in the plugs of the connecting
cables.
