Leica Geosystems packaging, transport container and cardboard box, or its equivalent,

to protect against shock and vibration.

When transporting or shipping batteries, the person responsible for the product must

ensure that the applicable national and international rules and regulations are

observed. Before transportation or shipping, contact your local passenger or freight

transport company.

5.2 Storage

the equipment is inside a vehicle. Refer to "6 Technical Data" for information about

temperature limits.

• 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.

50% charge can be stored for up to one year. After this storage period the batteries

must be recharged.

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.
