Safety Information

•See emissivity information for actual temperatures. Reflective objects result in lower than actual temperature measurements. These objects pose a burn hazard.

•Do not look directly into the laser with optical tools (for example, binoculars, telescopes, microscopes). Optical tools can focus the laser and be dangerous to the eye.

•Do not look into the laser. Do not point laser directly at persons or animals or indirectly off reflective surfaces.

•Replace the batteries when the low battery indicator shows to prevent incorrect measurements.

•Do not use the Product around explosive gas, vapor, or in damp or wet environments.

•Use the Product only as specified or hazardous laser radiation exposure can occur.

•Carefully read all instructions.
