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 recommended by Leica Geosystems, it is not possible to charge the battery if the temperature is too high. • For Li-lon batteries • For new batteries or batteries that have been stored for a long time (> three months), it is effectual to make only one charge/discharge cycles. • For Li-lon batteries, a single discharging and charging cycle is sufficient. We recommend carrying out the process when the battery capacity indicated on the charger or on a Leica Geosystems product deviates significantly from the actual battery capacity available. Operation / discharging • The batteries can be operated from -10°C to +50°C/14°F to +122°F. • Low operating temperatures reduce the capacity that can be drawn; very high operating temperatures reduce the service life of the battery. • Discharge temperature is from -10°C to +50°C/14°F to +122°F. Warning Inserting and removing the batteries It is not allowed to use another type of battery or to remove the battery socket on the 3D Disto or Control Unit. For exchange please contact your distributor or Leica Geosystems representative. It is always recommended to shield the instrument from direct sunlight and avoid uneven temperatures around the instrument. 3D Disto, Instrument Setup 55 56 3D Disto, Instrument Setup Setup step-by-step The following setup assumes the setup on a tripod but it is also possible to place the 3D Disto on flat surfaces such as floor or boards. 1. Setup the tripod on a suitable place where the points to be measured are good to target and extend the tripod legs to a comfortable working posture. 2. Place 3D Disto onto tripod head. Tighten central fixing screw of tripod. 3. Centre the circular bubble on the 3D Disto by adjusting the tripod legs. This is not necessary with dome-head tripods. 4. Press to turn on the instrument. 3D Disto_012 5. 3D Disto starts self-levelling: the tilt is checked by a tilt sensor and the instrument levels itself if the tilt is < 3°. Refer to "Description of buttons and LEDs", page 29, for information about tilt status. Do not move the sensor while self-levelling procedure is working. 6. Turn ON the Control Unit by pressing 7. If the Control Unit is started for the first time the following screen opens: With you can shut down the Control Unit. 8. Choose a language. Choose time format (23:59/11:59 am-pm). Enter date and time. Choose the units for slope, distance and angle. Choose decimal separator. 9. Press 3D Disto, Instrument Setup to go on. 57 58 3D Disto, Instrument Setup 10. Following screen opens: 11. Choose one of the following connection options: • Connect to 3D Disto with USB cable, • WLAN to 3D Disto, Using WLAN connection the first time, you have to choose the USB connection and install the WLAN connection manually in the menu settings. If it does not work change the WLAN channel. • to go ahead without connection or • connect Control Unit to a PC. 12. To work with a cable connection to 3D Disto plug in USB cable and press It is recommended to plug in the USB cable before turning on the 3D Disto, otherwise the instrument starts self-levelling procedure again. Do not extend the USB cable with an adapter and only use the Leica Geosystems cable delivered in the container. OR: To work with WLAN press OR: To transfer data from or to a PC press . Refer to "5.4.4 Data Transfer" for more information. If connections do not work press Menu » Device » Connect 3D Disto and activate connection manually, either to PC or to Control Unit by WLAN or cable. 13. Next screen appears to check correct setup and tilt of the 3D Disto. Press to go on. 3D Disto, Instrument Setup 59 60 3D Disto, Instrument Setup If the setup screen indicates tilt > 3° adjust the tripod legs to level the circular bubble or change 3D Disto position to a more suitable and flat surface. Await green LED, then press 14. If 3D Disto can not be levelled a pop-up prompts to deactivate the tilt sensor. If not needed, press OFF. A symbol in the status bar reminds you that the tilt sensor is off. Caution For experts only: If the tilt sensor is OFF the system does not compensate the tilt of the 3D Disto. In consequence all results that refer to a physically horizontal plane, for example tilt, height differences, horizontal distances, angles, areas, or volumes, now refer to the tilted horizon of the laser unit. Only the tie distance between to measured points is independent of the Tilt Sensor's setting. It can be useful to disable the Tilt Sensor in case of vibrations, for example on the construction sites, or under instable or moving environments like on boats.

Targeting with the visible red laser beam allows to measure the distance between the 3D Disto and the target and horizontal and vertical directions towards the target. Basic usage of the measurements is the determination of the relations between different targets, such as horizontal distances, tie distances, height differences, for example for identifying room dimensions, height differences, angles from wall to wall, area sizes, volumes, plumb points or other measures. The 3D Disto supports the measuring and targeting even in difficult situations such as targeting over long distances, at targets difficult to reach or at bright light conditions. An inbuilt tilt sensor ensures measurements following true horizon or true plumb line, defined by gravity. 3D Disto, Operation 81 82 3D Disto, Operation 6.2 Viewfinder Description The 3D Disto has an integrated camera. The camera is accessible via the Viewfinder, it shows the camera image directly on the Control Unit display. The crosshair in the Viewfinder image allows precise targeting and measurements even if the laser beam is not visible, for example over long distances or because of bright backlight conditions. The integrated digital zoom allow the image to be magnified up to eight times of its original size. This is a great help because precise measurements on detailed surfaces can even be accomplished in sunlight without any problem. Example of a Viewfinder screen, first and second toolbar shown: Using Viewfinder step-by-step 1. Press to start the Viewfinder. A second key press activates the lock mode, a third one unlocks and closes the Viewfinder. A lock symbol on a key indicates the lock mode. 2.

Quick temperature changes, shock or stress can cause deviations and decrease the instrument accuracy. It is therefore recommended to check and adjust the instrument from time to time. This can be done on the site by running through specific measurement procedures. The procedures are guided and have to be followed carefully and precisely as described in the following chapters. Electronic adjustment The following instrument errors can be checked and adjusted electronically: • Crosshair offset • V-index and • Tilt sensor. All calibration settings can also be reset to factory default. Every angle measured in the daily work is corrected automatically if the tilt sensor is activated and the 3D Disto is set up between 0° and 3°. During the manufacturing process, the instrument errors are carefully determined and set to zero. As mentioned above, these errors can change and it is highly recommended to redetermine them in the following situations: • After rough or long transportations • After long storage periods • If the temperature difference between current environment and the temperature at the last calibration is more than 20°C. Tilt Sensor must be ON to detect unintended movements while the calibration is running. After the calibration the tilt sensor is set to the previous state. Previously running application must be closed. 3D Disto, Check & Adjust 149 150 3D Disto, Check & Adjust 9.2 Problem Cross Hair Offset The laser point and the cross hair in the Viewfinder do not coincide.
