Safety Instructions and Regulatory Information
Safety instructions for handling when used with a riflescope on a firearm
Check the legal and regional regulations in your country before using the ZEISS DTC 3 with a riflescope.
If the ZEISS DTC 3 is connected to an optical device used on a firearm, always ensure that the firearm is unloaded when mounting the ZEISS DTC 3.
Before using, ensure that your riflescope and the ZEISS DTC 3 are in proper working condition.
Test the correct setting of the point of impact using controlled shots.
Improper or inaccurate mounting of the ZEISS DTC 3 on the riflescope may result in a shift in the point of impact, which may affect accuracy.
An incorrectly adjusted ZEISS DTC 3 may result in a considerable deviation of the point of impact.
Safety instructions for handling
Look through your riflescope to test if the optics provide a clear, undisturbed image.
If handled roughly, a maladjustment cannot be ruled out.
Never point the lens of the device directly at intense heat sources such as the sun or laser equipment. The objective lens and eyepiece can function as a
burning glass and damage the interior components.
Protection class IP66 is only achieved when all rubber covers are firmly closed.
Danger of swallowing
Do not place this device in the hands of small children. Incorrect handling can cause small parts to come loose, which may be swallowed.
Safety instructions for the battery
Handle the device with care: rough handling can damage the internal battery.
Do not expose the device to fire or high temperatures above 60°C.
Do not disassemble the device to access the battery. The battery is not meant to be replaced by the end user.
Only charge the device at temperatures ranging between 10°C and 40°C.
The battery capacity decreases when operated in a cold ambient temperature. This is not a fault and occurs for technical reasons.
Do not store the device at temperatures below 0°C or above 35°C for long periods. This permanently reduces the capacity of the battery.
