interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain
should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically
radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that required for
successful communication. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause
interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference, including interference that may cause
undesired operation of the device.

Important Information 1
Laser Safety
Before using the instrument, make sure that you understand this user guide, as well as all
equipment and job site safety requirements.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with IEC 60825-1 2007, 21 CFR
1040.10, and 1040.11 except for deviations persuant to Laser Notice No. 50, dated June 24,
2007.
Warning – Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than
C
those specified herein may result in hazardous LED or laser radiation exposure. As with
any bright light source, such as the sun, electric welding arcs or arc lamps, common
sense applies. DO NOT look into the laser aperture when the laser is on. For further
