Choose the correct rubber. 2. Attach the rubbers. Make sure that the rubbers are correctly attached to ensure that the tablet can not fall off. 3. Tablet correctly attached. Fixing the tablet to a pole step-by-step For an aluminium pole, fit the plastic sleeve to the pole clamp. 1. Insert the pole into the clamp hole. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Attach the holder to the clamp using the clamp knob. Adjust the angle and the height of the holder on the pole to a comfortable position. Tighten the clamp with the clamp knob. Hold the CSX8 tablet above the holder and lower the end of the CSX8 tablet into the mounting plate. Apply slight pressure in a downward direction and then lower the top part of the CSX8 tablet until the unit is clicked into the holder. Tighten the holder with the clamping lever at the bottom of the unit. Operation 33 26885_0013322116b6a6cbb26682_001 Detaching the tablet from a pole step-by-
step 1. 2. 3. Release the clamping lever. Place your palm over the bottom of the tablet. While in this position, lift the bottom of the tablet from the holder. 6.1.2 Preparation Replacing the Display Foil on the CSX8 On delivery, the display of the CSX8 is covered by a foil to protect the display against scratches and dirt and to guarantee a trouble-free function of the touchscreen in extreme and humid weather conditions. We strongly recom-
mend to use this display foil and to replace it with a SPF11 screen protection foil for CSX8, if necessary. Remove the old display foil. Ensure that the display is free of dust and grease. Use the provided microfibre cloth to clean the display. Look for a dust free and dry atmosphere surrounding while fixing the display foil. The recommended conditions are:
Temperature: approx. 21C Humidity: < 55%
Fixing the display foil step-by-step The display foil lies between two thin carrier foils. The display foil has a silver-
coloured sticker to peel away the carrier foil from the actual display foil. 1. 2. 3. Touch the yellow-coloured sticker with two fingers and pull it slowly upwards. The carrier foil is peeling away. Do not peel the carrier foil more than 2 cm - 3 cm away. Fix the adhesive underside of the display foil on the display edge. Peel away the carrier foil slowly and smooth it out gently onto the display. Remove the additional layer foil which has a red-coloured sticker. 34 Operation 12326683_001004510_0011234 4. 5. Potential air bubbles between display and display foil have to be smoothed out using the included microfibre cloth. Do not use sharp objects!
In case of remaining dust or grease under the display foil or the need to replace the display foil, lift it again with some adhesive tape. Batteries Operating Principles The battery must be charged before using it the first time, because it is delivered with an energy content as low as possible or might be in sleep mode. The permissible temperature range for charging is from 0 C to +40 C/
+32 F to +104 F. For optimal charging, we recommend charging the batteries at a low ambient temperature of +10 C to +20 C/+50 F to
+68 F if possible It is normal for the battery to become warm during charging. Using the chargers recommended by Leica Geosystems, it is not possible to charge the battery once the temperature is too high The batteries can be operated from 20 C to +55 C/4 F to +131 F. Low operating temperatures reduce the capacity that can be drawn; high operating temperatures reduce the service life of the battery. 6.2 6.2.1 First-time use/
