Main hazards of use, continued
Precautions:
Keep at a safe distance from
electrical installations. If it is essential
to work in this environment, first
contact the safety authorities
responsible for the electrical
installations and follow their
instructions.
CAUTION:
During the transport or
disposal of charged batteries
it is possible for inappropriate
mechanical influences to
constitute a fire hazard.
Precautions:
Before dispatching the equipment or
disposing of it, discharge the
batteries by running the instrument
until they are flat.
WARNING:
If an External Antenna is not
properly fitted to the roof rack
of a vehicle it can be torn off
by mechanical shock,
vibration or wind, possibly
causing accident and injury.
Precautions:
Use nothing other than the External
Antenna on the roof rack of a vehicle.
Secure the External Antenna
correctly to the roof rack by means of
the adapter. Leica Geosystems offers
the adapter as an accessory.
Secure the safety cord to the
External Antenna and connect the
cord to the adapter in accordance
with the instruction plate on the
adapter. Ensure that the roof rack is
correctly mounted and able to safely
carry the weight of the External
Antenna (>1kg).
WARNING:
Inadequate securing of the
survey site can lead to
dangerous situations, for
example in traffic, on building
sites and at industrial
installations.
Precautions:
Always ensure that the survey site is
adequately secured. Adhere to the
regulations governing accident
prevention and road traffic.
DANGER:
Because of the risk of
electrocution, it is very
dangerous to use poles and
extensions in the vicinity of
electrical installations such as
power cables or electrical
railways.
