NOTE: After the Power Switch is powered off, it will not retain the mode in memory and will start again at
Mode 1 when powered back on; this insures additional safety from accidental over exposure, as well as
lower power to be used at short distances.
NOTE: Lasers are equipped with thermal protection that may shut off during prolonged use. The unit will
be able to turn back on when allowed to cool down.

RECHARGING BATTERIES
Lithium Ion Battery System takes approximately 4 hours to charge fully.
While connected to the AC Adaptor, the GREEN light on the rear of the PL is
ON. Its function is only to advise that you are attempting to charge.
The AC adaptor also has a light which is GREEN when plugged into a wall. As
soon as you connect it to the PL for charging, it turns RED. Full is shown by a
non-blinking GREEN LED on the AC Adaptor.
For PL-2-445 and PL-5-445:The typical usage range to the surface being

reactant aid.
For PL-9-445: The typical usage range to the surface being investigated is 10
- 15 in (254 - 381 mm) but is useful for general search at up to 5 - 15 ft (1.5 -
4.6 m) or pattern photos at up to 30 ft (9 m) with fluorescent reactant aid.
For PL-3-525: The typical usage range to the surface being investigated is 10 15 in (254 - 381 mm) but is useful for general search at up to 5 - 8 ft (1.5 - 2.4
m) or pattern photos at up to 30 ft (9 m) with fluorescent reactant aid.

Do not stare in laser for long periods of time of from a close range
shorter than the NOHD defined.
Do not look directly into the laser
light during operation, even for a
brief period. This can be harmful
to the eyes due to the intensity of
the laser light and short range.
The user should operate the laser
without wearing any reflective jewelry like watches, rings, bracelets,
etc. that could send reflections
back to the user's eye.
Avoid touching the head of the
laser. It will get very warm or hot.
Rubber insulators have been strategically installed to protect the
user and to protect the surfaces
where the laser will be placed.
The PL Laser is heavy. If the laser
falls, it may cause injury to people
or objects. Footwear that covers
the toes should be worn in the
area where this tool is used.
FoxFury, LLC is not responsible
for any injury or damage caused
during the use of this product.
Do not use under the influence of
drugs or alcohol.
EYE & SKIN SAFETY RANGES
• Nominal Ocular Hazard Distance
(NOHD): Safest more than 48 in
(1.2 m) from eyes
• Nominal Skin Hazard Distance
(NSHD): Safest more than 4 in
(101.6 mm) from skin
• *Nominal Ocular Hazard Area: 41
square feet (3.8 square meters).
Persons in this area should be
wearing laser safety eyewear.
This region is where the specular
reflections from mirrors, chrome,
and stainless steel surfaces (at
any angle), and glossy plastic or
laminate surgaces at low angles can
reflect the laser beam with little

CARE/CLEANING
Your PL Forensic Laser System is a
professional tool. Regular maintenance
and care of your light will maximize
performance for you. As needed, wash
your Laser using a soft washcloth, clean
water and a mild soap. Be sure that all
parts are reassembled securely before
washing. When done, pat dry with a
damp cloth.

diffusion.
• Skin exposure at from 0.25 - 1 in
(6.35 - 25.4 mm) will feel painful
in about 0.5 of a second. Expect
a quick pain reation and withdraw
quickly from the beam.
LASER SAFETY
Class 3B - Output beam is classified at
Class 3B
A Class 3B laser is hazardous if the
eye is exposed directly, but diffuse
reflections such as those from paper or
other matte surfaces are not harmful.
The AEL for continuous lasers in the
wavelength range from 315 nm to far
infrared is 0.5 W. For pulsed lasers
between 400 and 700 nm, the limit
is 30 mJ. Other limits apply to other
wavelengths and to ultra-short pulsed
lasers. Protective eyewear is typically
required where direct viewing of a class
3B laser beam may occur.
As an example, Class 3B lasers are used
inside CD and DVD writers, although
the writer unit itself is Class 1 because
the laser light cannot leave the unit.
But technicians that work on the inside
of the units, must wear laser safety
eyeglasses.
Five Class-4 lasers are used to create
the homogeneous output beam, free
of the normal interference patterns
and speckle that direct laser beams
(like laser pointers) can create upon
reflection or backscatter. The beam
diffusers greatly attenuate the output
beam power and allow them to be mixed
on target.
The Class-4 lasers are equipped with
a safety plug-key and a set of tamperproof screws. The safety key must
be removed to disconnect power if
unit is opened for inspection, cleaning,
or maintenance, by factory certified
technicians.
The typical user should have no reason
to open the front section of the laserlight, please leave that to experienced
technicians with the proper tools and
protections available.
It is recommended that the safety plug-
key have a removable clasp feature
added (like for your car keys) so that
the safety plug-key can be easily
separated from the laser.
The safety plug-key, allows the operator
to “safe” the laser, if they need to leave
the unit on-scene and take a break, or
use the restroom; by taking the key
with them – to protect the curious from
themselves.
Eye protection is strongly recommended
when using this product.
The user should operate the laser
without wearing any reflective jewelry,
like watches, rings, or bracelets, etc. that
could send reflections back to the user's
eye.
