PRECAUTIONS REGARDING SAFETY Safety precautions (Must be followed) The following items are intended to prevent possible injury to the user or other people and/or damage to the instrument before it occurs. These safety precautions are important to the safe operation of this product and should be observed at all times. Distinctive displays The following displays are used to distinguish precautions by the degree of injury or damage that may result if the precaution is ignored.
PRECAUTIONS REGARDING SAFETY WARNING Do not stare into the laser beam directly as this may result in damage to your eyes. R-300X is a Class II Laser product. (The reflectorless type is a Class IIIa (3R) laser product.) Do not look into the laser radiation aperture directly as this may result in damage to your eyes. Never use the telescope to view intense light such as direct sunlight or sunlight reflected through a prism as this may result in loss of sight.
PRECAUTIONS REGARDING SAFETY CAUTION For security, please do the opening inspection and inspection every a fixed period and adjustment. When the laser beam enters eyes, an unexpected accident might be caused by the blink of eyes. Establish the laser product to avoid the height of eyes of a driving person and walker. Establish an instrument so that laser beam does not hit a reflection thing as a mirror and a glass window. The refection beam of the laser is also harmful to the human body.
PRECAUTIONS REGARDING SAFETY Usage precautions Surveying instruments are high-precision instruments. In order to assure that the Electronic Total Station R-300X series product which you have purchased will provide long-lasting maximum performance, the precautions in this manual must be followed. Be sure to follow these instructions and use this product properly at all times. [Solar observation] WARNING Never view the sun directly using the telescope as this may result in loss of sight.
PRECAUTIONS REGARDING SAFETY • • • • There is a possibility that the instrument cannot calculate correctly when receiving reflected laser beam from forth and back directions in case of measuring the target on the road. There is a possibility that synthesized values are calculated and the distance may become longer or shorter than the actual one when the operator measure the target of slope or sphere or rugged shape.
