Precautions 

Avoid staring directly at the laser beam for prolonged periods. 

The TruPulse® 200X is designed to meet FDA 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, reasonable precautions should be taken in its 
operation. It is recommended that you avoid staring into the transmit aperture 
while firing the laser. The use of optical instruments with this product may 
increase eye hazard. 

Never attempt to view the sun through the scope. 

Looking at sun through the scope may permanently damage your eyes. 

Never point the unit directly at the sun. 

Exposing the lens system to direct sunlight, even for a brief period, may 
permanently damage the internal components. 

Avoid direct sun exposure on the eyepiece. 

Exposing the eyepiece to direct sunlight can damage the internal display. 

Do not expose the instrument to extreme temperatures. 

TruPulse® 200X components are rated for a temperature range of -4 to +140° F  
(-20 to +60° C). Do not expose the instrument to temperatures outside this 
 range whether in use or in storage.
