Yet, the possibility of it causing interference in other devices cannot be totally excluded. CAUTION: Never attempt to repair the product yourself. In case of damage, contact the local dealership. · · Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help WARNING: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Leica Geosystems for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. FCC statement (applic. in U.S.) This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: · Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. · Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Laser classification Integrated distancemeter The Leica DISTOTM produces a visible laser beam which emerges from the front of the instrument. It is a Class 2 laser product in accordance with: · IEC60825-1 : 2007 "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. Precautions: Do not look directly into the beam with optical aids. Safety Instructions 4 Leica DISTOTM D3 760150 gb CAUTION: Looking into the laser beam may be hazardous to the eyes. Precautions: Do not look into the laser beam. Make sure the laser is aimed above or below eye level.
