RECAUTIONS
Avoid staring directly at the laser beam for prolonged periods of time.
The Impulse is designed to meet stringent F.D.A. eye safety requirements and is classified as eye-safe to Class 1
limits, which means that virtually no hazard is associated with directly viewing the laser output under normal
conditions. As with any laser device, however, it is recommended that you avoid staring into the transmit aperture for
prolonged periods while firing the laser.
Never attempt to view the sun through the scope.
Looking at sun through the scope may permanently damage your eyes.
Never point the instrument directly at the sun.
Exposing the lens system to direct sunlight, even for a brief
period, may permanently damage the laser transmitter.
Do not expose the instrument to extreme temperatures.
Impulse components are rated for a temperature range of -30
°
C (-22
°
F) to +60
°
C (+140
°
F). Do not expose the
instrument to temperatures outside of that range.
