Appendix
Routine Maintenance
- When using the equipment, please handle it gently and avoid knocking it;
- After the laser equipment has finished collecting, the laser protection cover should be put on to prevent scratches on the laser lens;
- In daily use, pay attention to protecting it and avoid scratching its appearance. If there is dust, use a dust-free cloth dipped in clean water to gently wipe it;
- After using the device, it is necessary to remove the accessories and put the mainframe and accessories into the packaging box.
Common Troubleshooting
After turning on the camera, it shuts down immediately, which may be because
the camera has not been charged for a long time and the battery is low.
Opening the device and charging the camera for about 10 minutes will allow it
to start up normally.
If the camera does not take pictures during use, please manually turn on the
camera. If the U disk is plugged and unplugged multiple times during the
collection process, it may cause the laser scanner’s configuration parameters
to be reset to factory settings. If this happens, please contact the after-
sales personnel for remote setting of the scanner. After successful setting,
it will not affect the normal use of the device.
