(1) Measuring distance may vary depending on targets and
measuring conditions.
(2) Good conditions (good visibility, overcast, twilight,
underground, low ambient light).
(3) Normal conditions (normal visibility, object in the shadow,
moderate ambient light).
(4) Difcult conditions (haze, object in direct sunlight, high
ambient light).
(5) ±(3+3 ppm × D) mm –20 °C to –10 °C, +40 °C to +50 °C
(6) Measuring time may vary depending on measuring distance
and conditions. For the initial measurement, it may take a
few more seconds.
(7) Battery life specication at 25 °C. Operation time may be shorter
in low temperatures or if the battery is not new.
