USAGE PRECAUTIONS

Target Constant Confirm the Target Constant of the instrument before measurement. Reflectorless and Reflecting sheet The reflectorless measurement range may vary depending on the target and surrounding brightness. In case the reflectorless measurement results in low accuracy, perform the distance measurement by Reflector sheet or Prism. (R-322NX, R-323NX, R-325NX, R-335NX, R-315NX,) Battery & Charger Use the battery charger that is suitable to the battery you are using. If water should happen to splash on the instrument or the battery, wipe it off immediately and allow it to dry in a dry location. Auto focus The Auto focus may not function under every condition depending on brightness,contrast,and the shape and size of the target.In such a case, use the Power Focus buttons or the manual focus ring. Atmospheric correction During surveys for which the survey precision or atmospheric measurement method is defined, measure the atmospheric temperature and pressure separately and enter those values rather than using the Automatic Atmospheric Correction function.

1. Basic Operation

1.1 Removing the Battery (1) Rotate the knob above the battery pack counter-clockwise. (2) Lift up the battery pack and remove it from the instrument. 1.2 Attaching the Battery (1) Place the channel on the bottom of the battery pack, onto the protrusion of the instrument and push the battery pack down into place.
