WARNINGWARNING
You are cautioned that changes or modifications not espressly
approved in this document could void yout authority to operate this
equipment.
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock,do not expose this
apparatus to rain or moisture.
To avoid electrical shock, do not open the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.
NOTENOTE
As the laser is harmful to the eyes, do not attempt to disassemble the cabinet.
Precautions for Use
Use batteries
At the same time, can not use different style or different capacitance batteries. And only charge the rechargeable batteries.
Avoiding condensation problems
As much as possible, avoid sudden temperature changes. Do not attempt to use the drive immediately after moving it
from a cold to a warm location, to raising the room temperature suddenly, as condensation may form with in the drive. If the
temperature changes suddenly while using the drive,
Stop using it and take out batteries for at least an hour.
Storage
When long time no use,must take out the batteries to avoid destroying the device.

distance, range and pulse width.
Range---match with the length of measured optic fiber, usually over one level.
Pulse width---set the pulse width of output laser. Usually, small pulse width can
measure close event, large pulse width can measure remote distance, but
