This is a great help for outdoor measuring. The integrated pointfinder (viewscreen) shows the target on the display.

The device measures in the middle of the cross hair, even if the laser dot is not visible.

Parallax errors occur when the pointfinder camera is used on close targets, with the effect that the laser appears displaced in the crosshair. In this case rely on the real laser dot.

Laser classification

The device produces visible laser beams, which are emitted from the instrument:

It is a Class 2 laser product in accordance with:

• IEC60825-1 : 2014 „Radiation safety of laser products“

Laser Class 2 products:

Do not stare into the laser beam or direct it towards other people unnecessarily. Eye protection is normally afforded by aversion responses including the blink reflex.



WARNING

Looking directly into the beam with optical aids (e.g. binoculars, telescopes) can be hazardous.



CAUTION

Looking into the laser beam may be hazardous to the eyes.
