NOTE:
Don’t collimate the sun directly
Avoid insolating the instrument, and don’t collimate the sun directly for protecting eyes
and instrument.
Set up the instrument on the tripod
When using it please insure the connection between tripod and instrument is firm. It is
better to work with wooden tripod for the measurement accuracy.
Assemble the tribrach on the instrument
The setting of tribrach would influence the accuracy. The tribrach should be check
frequently, the screw which connects the tribrach and alidade must be locked tightly. And
the central fixing screw should be tight.
Avoiding the librations on the instrument
When transporting, keep the instrument in the case and try your best to lighten librations.
Carry the instrument
When carrying，the instrument handle must be held tight.
High temperature condition
If put the instrument in high temperature condition for a long time, it is bad for the
instrument performance.
Temperature changing sharply
The sharp temperature changing on the instrument or prism will shorten the distance
measurement range, for example, after taking the instrument out from a warm car to a
cold condition, wait for some time, it can be used when it adapts to the surrounding
condition.
Check the battery power
Before using it, you should check the power whether it is enough.
Take out the battery
It is not suggested to take out the battery when the instrument is on, otherwise, the stored
data may be lost, so it is better to replace the battery after power off the instrument.
Stored data responsibility
FOIF should not be held liability for the lost data because of wrong operation.
The noise from the instrument
When the instrument is working, it is normal if you hear the noise from instrument motor,
it will not affect the instrument work.

4.4.6 Remote Elevation Measurement（REM）
The Remote Elevation program calculates the vertical distance (VD) of a remote object
relative to ground. When using a prism height, the remote elevation measurement will
start from the prism (reference point). If no prism height is used, the remote elevation will
start from any reference point in which the vertical angle is established. In both modes,
the reference point should be perpendicular to the remote object.
