3. PRODUCT OUTLINE 3.4 Bluetooth Wireless Technology • Use of this technology must be authorized according to telecommunications regulations of the country where the instrument is being used. Contact your local dealer in advance. C"7. Specifications" • Sokkia Topcon Co., Ltd. is not liable for the content of any transmission nor any content related thereto. When communicating important data, run tests beforehand to ascertain that communication is operating normally.
3. PRODUCT OUTLINE Precautions regarding transmission • Reduced range due to atmospheric conditions The radio waves used by the SHC250 may be absorbed or scattered by rain, fog, and moisture from the human body with the limit of usable range becoming lower as a result. Similarly, usable range may also shorten when performing communication in wooded areas. Moreover, as wireless devices lose signal strength when close to the ground, perform communication at as high a position as possible.
4. PREPARATION FOR USE 4.1 Before Using Make sure to charge the battery before using the SHC250. Do not connect the instrument to the host computer until installation of Windows Mobile Device Center or ActiveSync is complete. 4.2 Installing the Software It is possible to synchronize data from Microsoft Outlook on the host computer and Calendar and Contacts on the SHC250 using Windows Mobile Device Center or ActiveSync. Files and folders can also be copied between the host computer and the SHC250.
4. PREPARATION FOR USE 4.3 Battery Installing the Battery 1 Remove the handstrap. Battery terminal 2 Slide the battery cover knob to the right. 3 Open the battery cover.
