*W Warning
To prevent eye damage and personal injury:
• Read all safety information before you use the RBP5.
• Carefully read all instructions.
• Do not alter the RBP5 and use only as specied, or the
protection supplied by the RBP5 can be compromised.
• Do not use the RBP5 if it operates incorrectly.
• Do not use the RBP5 if it is altered or damaged.
• Use the RBP5 only as specied or hazardous laser
radiation exposure can occur.
• Do not look into the laser. Do not point laser directly at
persons or animals or indirectly o󰀨 reective surfaces.
• Do not look directly into the laser with optical tools (for
example, binoculars, telescopes, microscopes). Optical
tools can focus the laser and be dangerous to the eye.
• Do not open the RBP5. Refer to PLS laser levels safety
information when operating the laser levels. The laser
beam is dangerous to eyes.
• Do not disassemble the battery.
• Repair the RBP5 before use if the battery leaks.
• Batteries contain hazardous chemicals that can cause
burns or explode. If exposure to chemicals occurs, clean
with water and get medical aid.
• The RBP5 battery pack must be properly installed to PLS
laser levels before operation.

• Remove the RBP5 if PLS laser level is not used for an
extended period of time, or if stored in temperatures above
50 °C. If RBP5 battery pack is not removed, battery leakage
can damage PLS laser level.
• Replace the RBP5 battery pack when the low battery indicator
of PLS laser level shows to prevent incorrect measurements.
• RBP5 battery pack can be charged while operating the
PLS laser level, but we do not specify charge time.
• Use only Fluke approved power adapters to charge the battery.
• Do not short the battery terminals together.
• Do not disassemble or crush battery cells and battery packs.
• Do not keep cells or batteries in a container where the
terminals can be shorted.
• Do not put battery cells and battery packs near heat or re.
Do not put in sunlight.
• Do not use the RBP5 around explosive gas, vapor, or in
damp or wet environments.
