The LabRadar is a consumer level device that was designed for amateur use only.  The performance of 
the units has been optimized to offer the most accurate results, but it is possible that some reading are 
not accurate, hence it is the responsibility of the user to determine whether or not the readings are good 
or not to its satisfaction.  Infinition and its subsidiaries will not be responsible for inaccurate readings. 
 
In order to achieve the best accuracy possible, the user must use the product correctly and take care of 
some details: 

 

Make sure that the Labradar is aligned correctly with the target. 

 

Make sure that the position of the gun relative to the LabRadar is correct. 

 

Use a firing range that has no obstacles or obtrusions close to or in the line of fire.  (Clear line 
of sight) 

 

Make sure that the parameters entered in the LabRadar configuration match you installation. 

 
Due to microwaves signals nature, range performance of the LabRadar can differ depending on the 
environmental conditions: 

 

Temperature; 

 

Humidity; 

 

Particles in the air; 

 

Signal reflection on the ground, trees, wall and any other surface in the line of fire. 

 

Frequency channel used for transmission; 

 

Etc. 

 

In addition, the projectile’s characteristics will also affect the range performance of the LabRadar, such 
as: 

 

Projectile’s diameter; 

 

Projectile’s tail design; 

 

Projectile’s shape; 

 

Projectile’s position while travelling in the air; 

 

Subparticles; 

 

Etc. 

 

Thus, it is a known fact that range performance can vary, even for the same bullet calibers depending 
on the manufacturer of the bullet, the model of the bullet, the firearm used to fire the bullet, the tail 
shape of the bullet, etc.   Infinition and its subsidiaries cannot explicitly guarantee a range performance 
and thus will not be responsible for range performance difference between shots.
