Have the rangefinder repaired only through
qualified specialists using original spare
parts. This ensures that the safety of the
rangefinder is maintained.

rangefinder without supervision. They
could unintentionally blind other persons.
Do not point the laser beam at persons or
animals and do not look into the laser
beam yourself, not even from a large
distance.
