•See emissivity information for actual temperatures. Reflective objects
result in lower than actual temperature measurements. These objects
pose a burn hazard.
•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 look into the laser. Do not point laser directly at persons or
animals or indirectly off reflective surfaces.
•Replace the batteries when the low battery indicator shows to prevent
incorrect measurements.
•Do not use the Product around explosive gas, vapor, or in damp or wet
environments.
•Use the Product only as specified or hazardous laser radiation exposure
can occur.
