Introduction

The safety instructions and the user manual should be read through carefully before the product is used for the first time.

The person responsible for the product must ensure that all users understand these directions and adhere to them.

The symbols used have the following meanings:

!WARNING

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation or an unintended use which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

!CAUTION

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation or an unintended use which, if not avoided, may result in minor injury and/or appreciable material, financial and environmental damage.

Important paragraphs which must be adhered to in practice as

they enable the product to be used in a technically correct and

efficient manner.

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.
