Warning: Always take care when wearing the harness system.

Make sure the harness system does not become entangled or trapped in machinery. This could lead to serious or even fatal injury.

Do not run while wearing the harness system.

Do not use the harness system with the hand support strap closed and the harness plates open.

Correct height and angle

The correct position for the device is shown here:

  • A: Good position. The scanner has a clear field of view past the operator's shoulders.
    A man demonstrates proper use of a handheld device with a supportive harness.

  • A: Too close. If the device is too close to the body in an upright position, the scanner cannot capture data from the floor or ceiling.

  • B: Too low. If the device is too low and the scanner is horizontal, SLAM is less stable, since the walls in front of and behind the operator are not visible to the scanner.
    A man demonstrates a device while a prohibition symbol is visible nearby.

Warning:

Adjust the height or position of the harness system, or take a break, if you feel uncomfortable. Check that the harness system is adjusted correctly to support the weight of the device. Use the harness system to distribute the weight and be aware of additional health precautions.
