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
