Safety & Warnings
Do not use the unit near devices generating strong electromagnetic radiation or static electrical charges, as these may cause errors. Avoid using the unit in environments with corrosive or explosive gases, as it may be damaged or cause an explosion. Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, high temperatures, high humidity, or condensation, as it may be deformed or damaged. Avoid pointing the lens at the sun or strong light sources to prevent sensor damage. Do not contact the lens with the object being measured, or allow it to become dirty or scratched, as this may cause errors. Avoid touching or holding the front case, as heat from the hand can affect temperature readings. Do not place the meter on or near hot objects (70°C/158°F), as it may damage the case. Allow 20 minutes for temperature stabilization if the meter is exposed to significant ambient temperature changes. Wait 10 minutes for condensation to dissipate when moving from a cold to hot environment before taking measurements. The unit is not waterproof or dustproof, so avoid using it in very dusty or wet environments. Avoid looking directly into the laser light from the optical system. Be cautious of laser light reflecting off mirror finishes into eyes. Do not allow the laser light to impinge upon explosive gases.
