observed are indicated by an exclamation point within a triangle used with
WARNING and CAUTION statements in this operator’s manual.
The definitions of the indications are listed below. Be sure you understand
them before reading the manual’s main text.
Definition of Indication
General
WARNING Ignoring this indication and making an operation error could
possibly result in death or serious injury to the operator.
CAUTION Ignoring this indication and making an operation error could
possibly result in personal injury or property damage.
This symbol indicates items for which caution (hazard warnings inclusive) is
urged. Specific details are printed in or near the symbol.
This symbol indicates items which are prohibited. Specific details are printed in
or near the symbol.
This symbol indicates items which must always be performed. Specific details

Warning
Do not use the unit in areas exposed to high amounts of dust or ash, in areas
where there is inadequate ventilation, or near combustible materials. An
explosion could occur.
Do not perform disassembly or rebuilding. Fire, electric shock, burns, or
hazardous radiation exposure could result.
Never look at the sun through the telescope. Loss of eyesight could result.
Do not look at reflected sunlight from a prism or other reflecting object through
the telescope. Loss of eyesight could result.
Direct viewing of the sun during sun observation will cause loss of eyesight.
Use solar filter (option) for sun observation.
When securing the instrument in the carrying case make sure to set all the
locks. Failure to do so could result in the instrument falling out while being
carried, causing injury.
Caution
Do not use the carrying case as a footstool. The case is slippery and unstable
so a person could slip and fall off it.
Power Supply
Do not place the instrument in a damaged case or in a case with a damaged
belt. The case or instrument could be dropped and cause injury.
Do not wield or throw the plumb bob. A person could be injured if struck.
Secure handle to main unit. Failure to properly secure the handle could result in
the unit falling off while being carried, causing injury.
Tighten the adjustment tribrach clamp securely. Failure to properly secure the
clamp could result in the tribrach falling off while being carried, causing injury.
Warning
Do not disassemble or rebuild the battery or the battery charger, nor expose to
heavy shocks or vibration. Sparking, fire, electric shock or burns could result.
Do not short circuit. Heat or ignition could result.
Do not place articles such as clothing on the battery charger while charging
batteries. Sparks could be induced, leading to fire.
Do not use voltage other than the specified power supply voltage. Fire or
electrical shock could result.
Do not use batteries other than those designated. An explosion could occur, or
abnormal heat generated, leading to fire.
Do not use damaged power cords, plugs or loose outlets. Fire or electric shock
could result.
Do not use power cords other than those designated. Fire could result.
Use only the specified battery charger to recharge batteries. Other chargers
may be of different voltage rating or polarity, causing sparking which could lead
to fire or burns.
Do not use the battery or charger for any other equipment or purpose. Fire or
burns caused by ignition could result.
Do not heat or throw batteries or chargers into fire. An explosion could occur,
resulting in injury.
To prevent shorting of the battery in storage, apply insulating tape or equivalent
to the terminals. Otherwise shorting could occur resulting in fire or burns.
Do not use the battery or the battery charger if its terminals are wet. Resultant
poor contact or shorting could lead to fire or burns.
Do not connect or disconnect power supply plugs with wet hands. Electric
shock could result.
Caution
Do not touch liquid leaking from batteries. Harmful chemicals could cause
burns or blisters.
Tripod
Bluetooth wireless technology/Wireless LAN
Laser Safety
Refer to "LASER SAFETY INFORMATION" in your manual (PDF).
Caution
When mounting the instrument to the tripod, tighten the centering screw
securely. Failure to tighten the screw properly could result in the instrument
