SAFETY

AND

OPERATION PRECAUTIONS

~Warning

•

This

Laser

Rangefinder

has

8-second

continuous

measurement

specifications.

Never

look

directly

into

the

optics

from

the

objective

side

at

any

time,

even

after

measurement.

This

may

result

in

damage

to

the

eyes

.

•

Never

look

directly

at

the

sun,

an

intense

light

or

the

laser

beam

when

using

the

laser

Rangefinder.

•

Do

not

aim

at

the

eye

while

operating

the

Laser

Rangefinder.

•

Do

not

point

the

laser

at

people.

•

Do

not

look

at

the

laser

with

another

optical

instrument

such

CARE

AND

MAINTENANCE

Lenses

•

When

removing

dust

the

lens

surface,

use

a

soft

oil-free

brush.

•

When

removing

stains

or

smudges

like

fingerprints

from

the

lens

surface,

wipe

the

lenses

very

gently

with

a

soft

clean

cotton

cloth

or

quality

oil-free

lens

tissue

.

Use

a

small

quantity

of

pure

alcohol

(not

denatured)

to

wipe

stubborn

smudges.

Do

not

use

velvet

cloth

or

ordinary

tissue,

as

it

may

scratch

the

lens

surface.

Once

the

cloth

has

been

for

cleaning

the

body,

it

should

not

be

used

again

for

the

lens

surface.

settings

• 8-second continuous measuring

function

The Laser Rangefinder

emits

invisible, eyesafe, infrared

energy

pulses

that

reflect off

the

selected

target

back

to

its optical receiver. Sophisticated precision

charge

circuitry

is

used

to

instantaneously

calculate distances, by

measuring

the

time

it

takes

for

each

pulse

to

travel from

the

rangefinder

to

the

target

and

back. Laser reflectivity

and

measurement

results may

vary

according

to

climatic

and

environmental

conditions,

the

colour, surface finish,

size,

shape

and

other

characteristics

of

the

target.

Use

of

controls

or

adjustments or performance

of

procedures

other

than those specified herein may result in hazardous

radiation exposure.

Keep this manual

within

reach for easy reference.

to

diffusing reflective surface

•

Target does

not

reflect the laser beam (glass, a mirror, etc.)

• Black

Although

the

LCD

was produced using the most advanced technology,

it

is

impossible

to

eliminate dust

completely.

When using

this product, the

LCD

is

magnified by high magnification

of

the

eyepiece

lens

and dust may appear

as

a defect. It will

not,

however, affect measurement accuracy.
