SI
The TLM99/TLM99s/TLM99si tool emits a visible laser
beam, as shown in Figure A#1. The laser beam emitted
is Laser Class 2 per IEC 60825-1 and complies with 21
CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 except for deviations pursuant
to Laser Notice No. 50, dated June 24, 2007.
WARNING:
While the laser tool is in operation, be careful not
to expose your eyes to the emitting laser beam
(red light source). Exposure to a laser beam
for an extended time period may be hazardous
to your eyes. Do not look into the beam with
optical aids.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury, user must read the
Product User manual, Laser Safety manual, and
Battery Safety information.
FCC Compliance
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.
FCC Statement
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. This device
is a portable unit. The exclusion threshold is 0.887<3. No
SAR test is required. 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
the receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a different circuit
(not the circuit to which the receiver is connected).
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician
for help.
Canada, Industry Canada (IC) Notices
Class B digital circuitry of this device complies with
Canadian ICES-003. This device complies with Industry
Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may
not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference, including interference that may cause
undesired operation of the device.

E
Under Industry Canada regulations, the radio transmitter(s)
in this device may only operate using an antenna of a type
and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter
by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference
to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be
so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power
(e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful
communication.
Battery Safety
