Safety Information
A Warning identifies conditions and procedures that are dangerous to the user. A Caution identifies conditions and procedures that can cause damage to the Product or the equipment under test.
Table 1 tells you about symbols used on the Product and in this manual.
Warning
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury:
- Read all safety Information before you use the Product.
- Do not use the Product if it operates incorrectly.
- Use the Product only as specified, or the protection supplied by the Product can be compromised.
- Examine the case before you use the Product. Look for cracks or missing plastic. Carefully look at the insulation around the terminals.
- See emissivity information for actual temperatures. Reflective objects result in lower than actual temperature measurements. These objects pose a burn hazard.
- Do not look directly into the laser with optical tools (for example, binoculars, telescopes, microscopes). Optical tools can focus the laser and be dangerous to the eye.
- Do not look into the laser. Do not point laser directly at persons or animals or indirectly off reflective surfaces.
- Replace the batteries when the low battery indicator shows to prevent incorrect measurements.
- Do not use the Product around explosive gas, vapor, or in damp or wet environments.
- Use the Product only as specified or hazardous laser radiation exposure can occur.
- Carefully read all instructions.
