SafetyInstructions

Thismeterhasbeendesignedforsafeuse,butmustbeoperatedwithcaution.

WARNING:Donotdirectlyviewordirectthelaserpointerataneye.Lowpowervisiblelasers

donotnormallypresentahazard,butmaypresentsomepotentialforhazardifviewed

directlyforextendedperiodsoftime.



Laserclassification(Class2)

TheDT500producesavisibleClass2laserbeamfromthetopofthe

OperatingInstructions

MeasurementConsiderations

1. Forbestresults,chooseatargetthatisflat,hardandsmooth

2. Useasectionofcardboardorsimilarmaterialifthetargetsizeneedstobeincreased

3. Replacethebatteryifthebatteryiconflashesonthedisplay

4. Themeterwillnotmeasurethroughglass,liquid,orStyrofoam

5. Inaccuratemeasurementsmayresultfromanyofthefollowing:

Lowbattery

Measureddistanceexceedingspecifiedrange

Irregularshapedobjectsnearthetarget


