These safety precautions are important to the safe operation of this product and should be observed at all times. Distinctive displays The following displays are used to distinguish precautions by the degree of injury or damage that may result if the precaution is ignored. WARNING Items indicated by this sign are precautions which, if ignored, would result in serious injury. CAUTION Items indicated by this sign are precautions which if ignored may result in injury or material damage. · Here "injury" refers to injuries such as cuts, burns or electric shock the treatment of which will not likely require hospitalization or long-term attention. [. . . ] Right angle, there is a possibility that correct distance measurement may be impossible by dispersion or reduction of laser beam. 26 [Applied measurement range by each target mode] · When a wrong target mode is selected, a correct distance cannot be measured. · It is sometimes possible to measure without prism under special conditions like in the close distance, targeting on a wall surface. However, there is a possibility including some errors in this case, so be sure to select the reflectorless mode. · The target constant should be correctly selected and confirmed in case that the reflector sheet is used at the prism mode and the prism is used at the reflector sheet mode. 6. 2 Distance measurement The V-300 series has two distance measurement modes of primary MEAS and second MEAS. Pressing the [F1] [MEAS] one time goes to MEAS and twice goes to second MEAS. You can freely select and allocate your desired measurement mode in primary MEAS and second MEAS by the Initial Setting 2. The "MEASURE SHOT" is set at primary MEAS and "TRACK CONT" is set at second MEAS as a Factory default setting. · MEASURE SHOT means the distance measurement by the shot mode. · MEASURE CONT means the distance measurement by the continuous mode. · TRACK SHOT means the fast distance measurement by the shot mode. · TRACK CONT means the fast distance measurement by the continuous mode. Confirm the target constant before beginning the distance measurement. Example:"MEASURE SHOT" at primary MEAS (Factory default setting) Collimate the telescope at a target and press MODE A 15°C P0 the [F1] [MEAS] once to start measuring the distance. Once distance measurement has been started, H. angle 92° 30' 20" the distance measurement mark remains displayed. SHOT ((( ))) the instrument beeps and displays the MEAS TARGET 0 SET DISP MODE mark to start the shot measurement automatically. · If the instrument is in mode B, press the [F5] [MODE] to switch to mode A and press [F1] [MEAS]. · Pressing the [F1] [MEAS] after collimating the telescope at the prism starts shot distance measurement with the "MEAS" text blinking. Distance measurement is completed and the "MEAS" text stops blinking the moment the distance measured by shot measurement is displayed. During continuous measurement, the "MEAS" text keeps on blinking. Pressing the [F1] [MEAS] again terminates both distance measurement and blinking the "MEAS" text. · Pressing [F4] [DISP] cycles through the sets of display items:"H. angle/H. dst. /V. dst. " , "H. angle/V. angle/S. dst. " and "H. angle/V. angle/H. dst. /S. dst. /V. dst. " , · Pressing the [ESC] or [F2] [TARGET] or [F5] [MODE] during distance measurement stops it. · If the shot count for distance measurement has been set to 2 or more in "Initial Setting 2", the distance is measured for the specified number of times to display the averaged value. Example:"TRACK CONT" at second MEAS (Factory default setting) MODE A Collimate the telescope at a Target and press [F1] [MEAS] twice in succession H. angle to start measuring the distance, H. dst.
