This is a great help for outdoor measuring. The integrated
pointfinder (viewscreen) shows the target on the display.
The device measures in the middle of the cross hair, even if
the laser dot is not visible.

Parallax errors occur when the pointfinder camera is used
on close targets, with the effect that the laser appears dis­placed in the crosshair. In this case rely on the real laser dot.

tooth

WARNING

Electromagnetic radiation can cause distur­bances in other equipment, in installations
(e.g. medical ones such as pacemakers or
hearing aids) and in aircraft. It can also affect
humans and animals.

Precautions:

Athough this product conforms to the most
stringent standards and regulations, the
possibility of harm to people and animals
cannot totally excluded.

• Do not use the product near petrol
stations, chemical plants, in areas with a
potentially explosive atmosphere and
where blasting takes place.

• Do not use the product near medical
equipment.

• Do not use the product in airplanes.

• Do not use the product near your body for

extended periods.

Laser classification

The device produces visible laser beams,
which are emitted from the instrument:

It is a Class 2 laser product in accordance
with:

• IEC60825-1 : 2007 „Radiation safety of
laser products“

Laser Class 2 products:

Do not stare into the laser beam or direct it
towards other people unnecessarily. Eye
protection is normally afforded by aversion
responses including the blink reflex.

WARNING

Looking directly into the beam with optical
aids (e.g. binoculars, telescopes) can be
hazardous.

CAUTION

Looking into the laser beam may be
hazardous to the eyes.

Labelling
