Class A Statement – Notice to Users. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a commercial 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 communication. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. – Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver. – Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from
that to which the receiver is connected. – Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Changes and modifications not expressly approved by the
manufacturer or registrant of this equipment can void your authority to operate this equipment under Federal Communications Commission rules
The antenna used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter:

Important Information
C
Warning – The use of Laser Class 3R equipment can be dangerous for the eyes. The risk
for eye damage is minimized through the radiation limit of 5 mW (FOCUS 30 at 660 nm). Do not stare directly into the beam. Do not direct the beam towards reflective surfaces (prisms, mirrors, met
allic surfaces, or
windows) or towards other people. Precautions should be taken to ensure that persons do not look with an optical instrument
directly into the beam. Dazzle flash-blindness and afterimages may be caused by a beam from a Class 3R laser
product, p turbance of vision. Do not operate any equipment o
articularly under low ambient light conditions. This may result in temporary dis-
r vehicles if such disturbance of vision
occurs. In a distance of 80 m from an instrument the radiation conforms to Laser Class 1. In
Laser Class 1 a direct intrabeam viewing is not hazardous. Take the following precautions while using a Class 3R instrument in order to minimize the
risks of personal injury
:
Only use the instrument’s Laser Class 3R function when absolutely necessary.
Set up the laser beam above or below human eye level wherever practicable.
Make sure that the area where the Class 3R instruments are used is marked with appropria
te laser warning signs.
Do not measure towards prisms up to 1000 m in reflectorless mode.
Make sure that unauthorized personnel do not get access to the instrument.
The Distance Measuring Unit in prism mode produces visible laser light emerging at the centre of the telescope objective. Product conforms to Class 1 in accordance with IEC 60825-1:2007 “Safety of laser devices”.
