! Be sure you’ve read and understood all provisions and operating
instructions contained herein before use of the instrument. Failure to
follow these safety rules and operating instructions may result in laser
radiation, electric shock or personal injury, which are all dangerous.
! Don’t try in any way to change the properties of the laser device as it
may expose you to laser radiation hazard.
! Don’t look directly into the laser beam as the laser device generates
radiation. It is a Class 2 laser product and can have the laser function
turned on only when the instrument is in use.
! Any operation or use outside those described in this manual may
result in laser radiation and personal harm.
! The operation of this instrument together with other optical
instruments will increase harm to human eyes.
! The instrument has a built-in laser generator which emits Class II
levels of laser radiation with wavelength 620-670nm and max output
power ≤1mW. Laser beams at this level won’t cause optical damage.
However, don’t look directly into the laser beam as it will cause
instant blindness.
! The label is on the back of the instrument, on top of which the
triangle mark indicates the position of the laser rangefinder emitting
the laser beam. In use of this instrument, full attention shall be given
to the position of laser beam emission and persons nearby in the
workplace, in order to avoid any harm due to direct transmission into
human eyes.
Safety Precautions
Laser Distance Measure (MH-02-LM-B1-196-1)

4
1. Don’t remove or damage any warning label fixed on the instrument.
2. Keep the instrument out of the reach of children. Don’t point the
laser beam emitted from the instrument at any person.
3. Don’t operate the instrument when there are children nearby or
leave it within reach of children without parental supervision.
4. Don’t place the instrument somewhere that the laser beam can be
intentionally or unintentionally ignored.
5. Don’t emit the laser beam to a highly reflective surface as the laser
beam will be easily reflected back to the eyes of the user or
bystanders.
6. Deactivate the laser function when the instrument isn’t in use. Failure
to do so will increase the risk of inadvertently looking into the laser
beam.
7. Don’t try to alter the properties of the laser. Failure to do so may
result in serious laser radiation injury.
8. Don’t try to repair or disassemble this instrument on your own.
Unauthorized repair may result in serious laser radiation injury. Any
repair must be conducted bya licensed technician.
9. Don’t use this instrument in a place where flammables exist, such as
flammable liquids, gasses and dusts.
10. The performance of the instrument can be guaranteed only with the
use of original spare parts.
11. Keep the instrument out of reach of children.

1. Opening or repairing the device
2. Measuring in direct sunlight.
3. Measuring outside of specified range.
4. Immersing the equipment in water.
5. Cleaning the lens using alcohol or any other organic solvent.
6. Wiping the lens directly with fingers or other rough surfaces.
7. Powering the equipment beyond the rated DC voltage.
In order to maintain good performance of the instrument, basic care
and maintenance is required as follows:
1. Don’t expose the instrument to an extremely cold or hot environment.
Do not subject the instrument to external compression or vibration for
extended durations.
2. Keep this instrument indoors and place it in the packaging container
when not in use.
3. Keep the instrument far away from dusty and moist environments
when in use. Clean only with a soft cloth slightly moistened by water.
Make sure to squeeze the moistened cloth to remove excess
moisture. Cleaning with corrosive or volatile substances will
permanently damage the instrument.
4. Take care of optical components (such as laser receiving lens and
laser beam emitting holes) the same as spectacles and cameras.
Optical components can be cleaned only with clean soft cloth or
cotton bud slightly moistened by distilled water and then squeezed
dry.
5. Don’t touch the lens of the instrument with hand.
6. Check the battery level of the instrument regularly and remove the
battery if the instrument isn’t intended to be used for an extended
period.
Refrain From:

7. Replace the battery when the battery indicator icon on the screen
indicates the power is empty.
8. Don’t disassemble the instrument on your own. Unauthorized
disassembly may result in laser radiation injury.
9. Don’t try to change any optical parts installed on the instrument lens.
FCC SAFETY
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause Harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If
this equipment does cause harmful interference 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.
