1.2. Safety
• Do not stare into the laser or LED beam directly or shine it into eyes.
• Never use strong pressure on the screen or subject it to severe impact, as the LCD
panel could become cracked and possibly cause personal injury. If the LCD panel is
broken, never touch the liquid inside because the liquid irritates the skin.
• Although the PDT meets the IP54 standard for water and dust resistance, avoid
prolonged exposure to rain or other concentrated moisture. These conditions exceed
the IP54 standard and could result in water or other contaminants entering the PDT.
• Use only the original approved AC adapter. Use of an unapproved AC adapter could
result in electrical problems, fire, or electrical shock. Opticon shall not be held
responsible for any damages caused by using an AC adapter not provided by
Opticon.
• Do not disassemble the PDT. Servicing should be done by a qualified supplier only. If
the PDT or accessories are damaged due to wrong handling or unauthorized repair,
the warranty is void. The warranty is also void if the warranty seals are broken.

User Manual
• Make regular back-ups of all important data.
• Under no circumstance will the supplier be liable for any direct, indirect,
consequential or incidental damages resulting from the use or inability to use the
hardware and software and/or any data loss, even if the supplier has been informed
of the possibility of such damages.
1.3. Battery Safety
Lithium-ion battery packs may get hot, explode, ignite, and/or cause serious injury if used
inappropriately. Please note the following safety warnings:
• Do not throw the battery pack in a fire. Do not expose the battery to high
temperatures.
• Do not connect a positive battery pack to a negative battery pack using any metal
object (like wire).
• Do not carry or store the battery pack with metal objects.
• Do not pierce the battery pack with nails or drills, strike the battery pack with a
hammer, step on the battery pack or otherwise expose it to strong impacts, shocks, or
excessive force.
• Do not solder the battery pack.
• Do not expose battery pack to liquid or allow the battery contacts to get wet.
• Do not disassemble or modify the battery pack. The battery pack contains safety and
protection measures, which, if damaged, may cause the battery pack to generate
heat, explode, or ignite.
• Do not discharge the battery pack using any device other than the specified device.
When it is used in devices other than the specified device, the battery pack may be
10
damaged or its life expectancy reduced. If the device causes any abnormal current to
flow, it may cause the battery pack to overheat, explode, or ignite and cause serious
injury.
• In the event that the battery pack leaks and the fluid gets into one’s eye, do not rub
the eye. Rinse well with water and immediately seek medical care. If left untreated,
the battery fluid could cause damage to the eye.

This device is a 2.4 GHz wideband transmission system (transceiver), intended
for use in all EU member states and EFTA countries, except in France and Italy,
where restrictive use applies.
In Italy the end-user should apply for a license at the national spectrum authorities
in order to obtain authorization to use the device for setting up outdoor radio links
and/or for supplying public access to telecommunications and/or network
services.
This device may not be used for setting up outdoor radio links in France and in
some areas the RF output power may be limited to 10 mW EIRP in the frequency
range of 2454–2483.5 MHz. For detailed information, the end-user should contact
the national spectrum authority in France.
1.5. Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
