Warning
Do not use the unit in areas exposed to high amounts of dust or ash, in areas where there is
inadequate ventilation, or near combustible materials. An explosion could occur.
Do not perform disassembly or rebuilding. Fire, electric shock, burns, or hazardous radiation
exposure could result.
Because this instrument is heavy, make sure to carry it carefully using both the handle and
the side handle. There is a possibility that the instrument may topple and fall resulting in
possible injury, and incorrect lifting posture may also result in hurting your back.
When securing the instrument in the carrying case make sure that all catches, including the
side catches, are closed. Failure to do so could result in the instrument falling out while being
carried, causing injury.
When scanning the target with the flash light while the instrument is set to use the prism,
please pay attention to the surroundings before doing so. When the target scanning is started
with the flash light while the instrument is set to use the prism, a white spot beam will be
emitted from the scanner unit to detect the position of the prism. This spot beam may
decrease a driver or pedestrian's vision temporarily if it hits the eye and may cause a serious
accident.
Secure handle to main unit. Failure to properly secure the handle could result in the unit falling
off while being carried, causing injury.
Caution
Do not use the carrying case as a footstool. The case is slippery and unstable so a person
could slip and fall off it.
Do not place the instrument in a case with a damaged catch, belt or handle. The case or
instrument could be dropped and cause injury.
Do not touch the instrument while the motor is in operation. Injury could result.
