Unpacking
Please check for completeness of parts while unpacking. Also
check for any mechanical damage or loose parts. In case of
transport damage inform the supplier immediately and do not
operate the instrument.
Use of tilt handle
To view the screen from the best angle, there are three diffe-
rent positions (C, D, E) for setting up the instrument. If the
instrument is set down on the floor after being carried, the
handle automatically remains in the upright carrying position
(A). In order to place the instrument onto a horizontal surface,
the handle should be turned to the upper side of the instrument
(C). For the D position (10° inclination), the handle should be
turned to the opposite direction of the carrying position until
it locks in place automatically underneath the instrument. For
the E position (20° inclination), the handle should be pulled to
release it from the D position and swing backwards until it
locks once more. The handle may also be set to a position for
horizontal carrying by turning it to the upper side to lock in
the B position. At the same time, the instrument must be lifted,
because otherwise the handle will jump back.
Transport
Please keep the carton in case the instrument may require
later shipment for repair. Losses and damages during
transport as a result of improper packaging are excluded from
warranty!
