Battery can cause outbreak of fire.
Do not block up the vent of the battery.
The short circuit of a battery can cause a fire.
Do not short circuit battery when storing it.
CAUTION
Laser Safety
DT-205L/207L/209L uses the visible laser beam. DT-205L/207L/209L products are manufactured and sold in accordance with Radiation Safety of
Laser Products, Equipment Classification, Requirements and Users Guide
(IEC Publication 60825-1) or Performance Standards for Light-Emitting
Products (FDA/BRH 21 CFR 1040) provided on the safety standards for
laser beam.
As per the said standards, DT-205L/207L/209L classified as Class 2
(CLASS II) Laser Products.
The laser beam belongs not very dangerous type but we request you to keep
and understand Safety standard for users as mentioned in the manual
instruction.
In case of any failure, do not disassemble the instrument. Contact TOPCON
or your TOPCON dealer.
Labels
Find the labels which describes the caution and safety about the laser beam
as follows in DT-205L/207L/209L. We request you to replace it one anytime
the caution labels are damaged or lost and paste a new one at the same
place. You can get the labels from Topcon or your dealer.

Reference : How to Collimate
1 Point the telescope toward the light. Turn the diopter ring and adjust
the diopter so that the cross hairs are clearly observed.
(Turn the diopter ring toward you first and then backward to focus.)
2 Aim the target at the peak of the triangle mark of the sighting
collimator. Allow a certain space between the sighting collimator and
yourself for collimating.
3 Focus the target with
the focusing knob.
*If parallax is created
between the cross hairs
and the target when
viewing vertically or
horizontally while looking
into the telescope,
focusing is incorrect or
diopter adjustment is
poor.

WARNING
Aiming the instrument into prism or highly reflective surface can result in serious damage to your eye because the
optical axis and laser beam source is in coincidence.
Do not aim the instrument directly into prism or highly reflective surface.
Do not look at the laser beam directly.

1 Hold the instrument by the carrying handle, with one hand, and
carefully lower it on top of the tribrach while, at the same time,
coinciding the alignment piece with the tribrach alignment groove on
the instrument and tribrach respectively.
2 When fully seated, revolve the tribrach locking lever 180 or 200g

1 Carefully level the instrument with the plate level only. If the bubble
of the circular level is centered properly, adjustment is not required.
Otherwise, proceed with the following adjustment.
Adjustment
1 Shift the bubble to the center of the circular level, by adjusting three
capstan adjustment screws on the bottom surface of the circular
level, with the accessory adjusting pin.

3 Next swing the telescope vertically using the vertical tangent screw,
and check whether the point travels along the length of the vertical
cross-hair.
4 If the point appears to move continuously on the hair, the vertical
cross-hair lies in a plane perpendicular to the horizontal axis ( and
adjustment is not required ).
5 However, if the point appears to be displaced from the vertical
cross-hair, as the telescope is swung vertically, then proceed with
the following adjustment.

Aiming the instrument into prism or highly reflective surface can result in serious damage to your eye because the optical axis and laser beam source is in coincidence.
Do not aim the instrument directly into prism or highly reflective surface.
Do not look at the laser beam directly.
In intersection of the cross-hair does not coincide with the laser spot, turn the
laser axis adjusting screws to move the laser spot to coincide with intersection of the cross-hair.
1 Remove the caps of the laser axis adjusting screws with coin.
As shown below, the screws are called A and B.

STORAGE PRECAUTIONS
When returning the instrument to its case, be sure to match the white positioning marks provided with the case and place the instrument with the eyepiece upward.
For cleaning the instrument after use, remove dust using a cleaning brush,
then wipe off with a cloth.
For cleaning the lens surface, use a cleaning brush to remove the dust, then
use a clean lintless cotton cloth. Moisten it with alcohol (or mixture with ether)
to wipe gently in a rotational motion from the center out.
To remove the dust on the case, never use thinner or benzine. Use a clean
cloth moistened with neutral detergent.
Check each part of the tripod after extended use. Parts (screws or clamps)
may work themselves free.
