5 Care and Transport
5.1 Transport
Transport in the field When transporting the equipment in the field, always make sure that you
• either carry the product in its original transport container,
• or carry the tripod with its legs splayed across your shoulder, keeping the attached product upright.
Transport in a road
vehicle
Never carry the product loose in a road vehicle, as it can be affected by shock and vibration. Always carry
the product in its transport container, original packaging or equivalent and secure it.
Shipping When transporting the product by rail, air or sea, always use the complete original GeoMax packaging,
transport container and cardboard box, or its equivalent, to protect against shock and vibration.
Shipping, transport of
batteries
When transporting or shipping batteries, the person responsible for the product must ensure that the
applicable national and international rules and regulations are observed. Before transportation or shipping,
contact your local passenger or freight transport company.
5.2 Storage
Product Respect the temperature limits when storing the equipment, particularly in summer if the equipment is
inside a vehicle. Refer to "6 Technical Data" for information about temperature limits.
Li-Ion batteries • Refer to "Technical Data" for information about storage temperature range.
• Remove batteries from the product and the charger before storing.
• After storage recharge batteries before using.
• Protect batteries from damp and wetness. Wet or damp batteries must be dried before storing or use.
• A storage temperature range of 0 °C to +30 °C / +32 °F to +86 °F in a dry environment is recom-
mended to minimize self-discharging of the battery.
• At the recommended storage temperature range, batteries containing a 40% to 50% charge can be
stored for up to one year. After this storage period the batteries must be recharged.
5.3 Cleaning and Drying
Product and accessories • Use only a clean, soft, lint-free cloth for cleaning. If necessary, moisten the cloth with water or pure
alcohol. Do not use other liquids; these may attack the polymer components.
Damp products Dry the product, the transport container, the foam inserts and the accessories at a temperature not
greater than 40°C/104°F and clean them. Remove the battery cover and dry the battery compartment.
Do not repack until everything is dry. Always close the transport container when using in the field.
