Warning: Always take care when wearing the Harness System.
Ensure the Harness System does not become entangled or trapped in machinery as this could lead to serious or even fatal injury.

• Do not use the Harness System with the Hand Support Strap closed and the Harness Plates open.

• Only use the Harness System for supporting the NavVis MLX while scanning.

• Do not use the Harness System for anything other than its intended use.

Caution:

• Ensure that the Hand Support Strap is securely attached.

• This is not a safety strap. Always hold the device with at least one hand.

Correct Height and Angle

The correct position for the device is shown here:

• A: Good position. With the scanner higher than the shoulders, so the scanner can see past the shoulders of the operator.

• A: Too close. Too close to the body (vertical/upright position) the scanner captures no floors & ceilings.

• B: Too low. Too low (horizontal/prone) → leads to less stable SLAM, as the beginning and end of corridors are not visible to the scanner.

Caution: Do not let go of the handle while using the NavVis MLX.
