Safety Directions 9

WARNING
Distraction/loss of attention
During dynamic applications, for example stakeout procedures, there is a
danger of accidents occurring if the user does not pay attention to the envir-
onmental conditions around, for example obstacles, excavations or trafc.
Precautions:
▶The person responsible for the product must make all users fully aware of
the existing dangers.
WARNING
Inadequate securing of the working site
This can lead to dangerous situations, for example in trafc, on building sites
and at industrial installations.
Precautions:
▶Always ensure that the working site is adequately secured.
▶Adhere to the regulations governing safety, accident prevention and road
trafc.
CAUTION
Pointing product toward the sun
Be careful when pointing the product toward the sun, because the telescope
functions as a magnifying glass and can injure your eyes and/or cause damage
inside the product.
Precautions:
▶Do not point the product directly at the sun.
CAUTION

If the accessories used with the product are not properly secured and the
product is subjected to mechanical shock, for example blows or falling, the
product may be damaged or people can sustain injury.
Precautions:
▶When setting up the product, make sure that the accessories are correctly
adapted, tted, secured, and locked in position.
▶Avoid subjecting the product to mechanical stress.
10 Safety Directions

WARNING
Inappropriate mechanical inuences to batteries
During the transport, shipping or disposal of batteries it is possible for inap-
propriate mechanical inuences to constitute a re hazard.
Precautions:
▶Before shipping the product or disposing it, discharge the batteries by the
product until they are at.
▶When transporting or shipping batteries, the person in charge of the
product must ensure that the applicable national and international rules
and regulations are observed.
▶Before transportation or shipping, contact your local passenger or freight
transport company.
WARNING
Exposure of batteries to high mechanical stress, high ambient temper-
atures or immersion into uids
This can cause leakage, re or explosion of the batteries.
Precautions:
▶Protect the batteries from mechanical inuences and high ambient tem-
peratures. Do not drop or immerse batteries into uids.
WARNING
Short circuit of battery terminals
If battery terminals are short circuited e.g. by coming in contact with jewellery,
keys, metallised paper or other metals, the battery can overheat and cause
injury or re, for example by storing or transporting in pockets.
Precautions:
▶Make sure that the battery terminals do not come into contact with
metallic objects.
Safety Directions 11

WARNING
Improper disposal
If the product is improperly disposed of, the following can happen:
•If polymer parts are burnt, poisonous gases are produced which may
impair health.
•If batteries are damaged or are heated strongly, they can explode and
cause poisoning, burning, corrosion or environmental contamination.
•By disposing of the product irresponsibly you may enable unauthorised
persons to use it in contravention of the regulations, exposing themselves
and third parties to the risk of severe injury and rendering the environ-
ment liable to contamination.
•Improper disposal of silicone oil may cause environmental contamination.
•The product does include parts of Beryllium inside. Any modication of
some internal parts can release Beryllium dust or fragments, creating a
health hazard.

1.6 Laser Classication
1.6.1 General
The following chapters provide instructions and training information about
laser safety according to international standard IEC 60825-1 (2014-05) and
technical report IEC TR 60825-14 (2004-02). The information enables the
person responsible for the product and the person who actually uses the
equipment, to anticipate and avoid operational hazards.
☞According to IEC TR 60825-14 (2004-02), products classied as laser
class 1, class 2 and class 3R do not require:
•laser safety ofcer involvement,
•protective clothes and eyewear,
•special warning signs in the laser working area
if used and operated as dened in this User Manual due to the low
eye hazard level.
General
12 Safety Directions

☞National laws and local regulations could impose more stringent
instructions for the safe use of lasers than IEC 60825-1 (2014-05)
and IEC TR 60825-14 (2004-02).
1.6.2 Distancer, Measurements with Reectors
The EDM module built into the product produces a visible laser beam which
emerges from the telescope objective.
The laser product described in this section is classied as laser class 1 in
accordance with:
•IEC 60825-1 (2014-05): “Safety of laser products”
These products are safe under reasonably foreseeable conditions of operation
and are not harmful to the eyes provided that the products are used and
maintained in accordance with this User Manual.

1.6.3 Distancer, Measurements without Reectors
The EDM module built into the product produces a visible laser beam which
emerges from the telescope objective.
The laser product described in this section is classied as laser class 3R in
accordance with:
•IEC 60825-1 (2014-05): “Safety of laser products”
Direct intrabeam viewing may be hazardous (low eye hazard level), in particu-
lar for deliberate ocular exposure. The beam may cause dazzle, ash-blindness
and after-images, particularly under low ambient light conditions. The risk of
injury for laser class 3R products is limited because of:
General
Labelling
General
Safety Directions 13

a)unintentional exposure would rarely reect worst case conditions of (e.g.)
beam alignment with the pupil, worst case accommodation,
b)inherent safety margin in the maximum permissible exposure to laser radi-
ation (MPE)
c)natural aversion behaviour for exposure to bright light for the case of
visible radiation.

NOHD (Nominal Ocular Hazard Distance) @ 0.25s 44 m
CAUTION
Class 3R laser products
From a safety perspective, class 3R laser products should be treated as poten-
tially hazardous.
Precautions:
▶Prevent direct eye exposure to the beam.
▶Do not direct the beam at other people.
CAUTION
Reected beams aimed at reecting surfaces
Potential hazards are not only related to direct beams but also to reected
beams aimed at reecting surfaces such as prisms, windows, mirrors, metallic
surfaces, etc.
Precautions:
▶Do not aim at areas that are essentially reective, such as a mirror, or
which could emit unwanted reections.
▶Do not look through or beside the optical sight at prisms or reecting
objects when the laser is switched on, in laser pointer or distance meas-
urement mode. Aiming at prisms is only permitted when looking through
the telescope.
