It measures the time the laser beam takes to travel from the
rangefinder to the target and back. Laser reflectivity and
measurement results may vary according to climatic and
environmental conditions, as well as the color, surface finish, size,
shape and other characteristics of the target.

generating equipment.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS LENS

Be careful that you do not directly touch the lens surface with your hands
when cleaning it. Remove dust or lint with a blower*. For fingerprints or other
stains that cannot be removed with a blower, wipe the lens with a dry soft
cloth or cleaning cloth for eyeglasses, using a spiral motion that starts at the
center of the lens and working towards the edges. Wiping too firmly or
wiping with a hard material may damage the lens. If this fails, gently wipe the
lens using a cloth lightly dampened with commercial lens cleaner.

MAIN BODY
After gently removing dust with a blower, clean the body surface with a soft,
clean cloth. After use at a seaside, wipe off salt that may be on the body
surface with a damp, soft, clean cloth, and then wipe with a dry cloth. Do not
use benzene, thinner, or other cleaners containing organic solvents.

STORAGE
Water condensation or mold may occur on lens surfaces because of high
humidity. Therefore, store the product in a cool, dry place. After use on a rainy
day or at night, thoroughly dry it at room temperature, then store in a cool,
dry place.

Measurement may be inaccurate or fail in the following cases:

• In snow, rain or fog
• Small or slender target
• Black or dark target
• Target has uneven surface
• Moving or vibrating target
• When measuring the surface of water
• Target measured through glass
• When the target is glass or a mirror
• When laser incidence to the target’s reflective surface is oblique

• Single measurement: When measuring overlapping subjects and the
distance to the closest subject is displayed, the product vibrates
briefly.
• Continuous measurement: Same as single measurement. The product
also vibrates briefly when displayed figures shift to a closer subject.
