# TOPCON INSTRUCTION MANUAL ELECTRONIC TOTAL STATION GTS-300 series GTS-301D GTS-302D GTS-303D GTS-303FOREWORD Thank you for purchasing the TOPCON Electronic Total Station GTS-300 series. To get best use from the instrument, please carefully read these instructions and place this manual in @ convenient location for future reference. > GENERAL HANDLING PRECAUTIONS Care should be taken to avoid shock to the instrument. Always provide some cushioning material to minimize risk of shock during transportation. If exposed to heavy shock, the instrument cannat be expected to function properly when measuring When carrying the instrument. Always remove the instrument from its tripod when carrying at the site. Hold the instrument tom and support in your hands. If it must be carried with the tripod attached, never ca’ ry the instrument horizont Position when carrying, ly over the shoulder. Always keep the instrument in a vertic: Do not expose the instrument to direct sunlight for a long time Never leave the instrument in extreme heat longer than necessary. It could adversely af- formance, Never expose the instrument without a filter to direct sunlight. It may he components inside the instrument. Any sudden change of temperature to the instrument or prism ma uring distance range, i.e when taking the instrument out from in a reduction of heated vehicle ¢ level before using the instrument 0203 10. 11. 12, 13.
