This is a great help for outdoor measuring. The integrated
pointfinder (viewscreen) shows the target on the display.
The device measures in the middle of the cross hair, even if
the laser dot is not visible.
Parallax errors occur when the pointfinder camera is used
on close targets, with the effect that the laser appears dis-
placed in the crosshair. In this case rely on the real laser dot.

can be targeted with the pointfinder /

ence will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interfer-
ence 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 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.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC
Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:
• This device may not cause harmful interfer-

Laser classification
The device produces visible laser beams,
which are emitted from the instrument:
It is a Class 2 laser product in accordance
with:
• IEC60825-1 : 2014„Radiation safety of
laser products“
Laser Class 2 products:
Do not stare into the laser beam or direct it
towards other people unnecessarily. Eye
protection is normally afforded by aversion
responses including the blink reflex.
WARNING
Looking directly into the beam with optical
aids (e.g. binoculars, telescopes) can be
hazardous.
CAUTION
Looking into the laser beam may be
hazardous to the eyes.
Labelling
Subject to change (drawings, descriptions
and technical data) without prior notice.
