• When switched on, the instrument will take a
few seconds to initialize. During initialization
the screen is blue, initialization progress is
indicated by a line of white dots.
• After approx. 30 seconds, the graphic sur-
face will become visible. The working area is
still black. A row of “X“ displays the soft-
ware loading in the information line.
• Next, the LANGUAGE CHOICE menu ( Fig. 24 )
will be shown on the screen for approx.
three secs.
Caution!
The instrument MUST be connected to an earthed mains power outlet socket.
It is recommended that the Leica ST5020 be plugged into a wall socket that has Ground
Fault Circuit Interruption (GFCI) protection - as an additional electrical safeguard.
• Before you connect the instrument to the wall socket, make sure the
mains switch at the bottom right of the instrument is in position OFF (‘0’).
• Connect the mains cable to the wall socket and switch on the mains
supply at the wall socket (if applicable).
• Switch the mains switch ON (‘I’).
