Instrument Set-up Introduction EN Overview The safety instructions and the user manual should be read through carefully before the product is used for the first time. The person responsible for the product must ensure that all users understand these directions and adhere to them. The symbols used have the following meanings: Display WARNING Indicates a potentially hazardous situation or an unintended use which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

Instrument Set-up Charging the Li-Ion battery via USB EN Charge the battery before using it for the first time. Use the provided cable to charge the battery. Plug the small end of the cable into the port of the device, and plug the end of the charger into an electrical socket. Select the appropriate connector for your country. The device cannot be used while it is charging. The computer can also be used to charge the device, but this takes more time.
Instrument Set-up Using the Smart Base Fold out Smart Base. Use it as mini tripod. EN Tripod or Adapter thread Unlock Lock Using the Smart Base Extension The Smart Base Extension allows for stable targeting without unintentionally tilting the device.. Do not move or tilt the Smartbase during measuring. i We recommend the use of a tripod with the Leica FTA360-S adapter.
Operations EN Operations Using the Touch Screen i Use only fingers to use the touch screen. Do not allow the touch screen to come into contact with other electrical devices. Electrostatic discharges can cause the touch screen to malfunction. Do not allow the touch screen to contact water. The touch screen may malfunction in humid conditions or when exposed to water. To avoid damaging the touch screen, do not tap it with anything sharp or do not apply excessive pressure to it with your fingertips.
Operations Switching ON/OFF ON EN Clear OFF 1x If no key is pressed for 180 sec, the device switches off automatically. i 2 sec Message Codes Device is turned OFF. 2x If the info icon appears with a number, observe the instructions in section "Message Codes". Example: Leave actual function, go to default operation mode. Undo last action. Permanent / Minimum-Maximum measuring min. 1 The minimum and maximum distance measured is displayed (min, max.).
Operations Pointfinder (Viewscreen) EN 1x 1 1x 2 4x 3 4 2x 1x 0.00m i 0.00m Exit pointfinder (viewscreen). OV* This is a great help for outdoor measuring. The integrated pointfinder (viewscreen) shows the target on the display. The device measures in the middle of the cross hair, even if the laser dot is not visible. Parallax errors occur when the pointfinder camera is used on close targets, with the effect that the laser appears displaced in the crosshair.
