Areas of responsibilityResponsibilities of the manufacturer of the original equipment Leica Geosystems AG, CH-9435 Heerbrugg (for short Leica Geosystems):Leica Geosystems is responsible for supplying the product, including the User Manual and original accessories, in a completely safe condition. (addi-tional language versions can be found at: www.disto.com.Responsibilities of the manufacturer of non-Leica accessories:)The manufacturers of non-Leica accessories for the Leica DISTO™ are responsible for developing, implementing and communicating safety concepts for their products. They are also responsible for the effectiviness of these safety concepts in combination with the Leica Geosystems equipment.Responsibilities of the person in charge of the instrument:WARNINGThe person responsible for the instrument must ensure that the equipment is used in accor-dance with the instructions. This person is also accountable for the deployment of personnel and for their training and for the safety of the equipment when in use.The person in charge of the instrument has the following duties:• To understand the safety instructions on the product and the instructions in the User Manual.• To be familiar with local safety regulations relating to accident prevention.• To inform Leica Geosystems immediately if the equipment becomes unsafe.Hazards in useCAUTION:Watch out for erroneous distance measure-ments if the instrument is defective or if it has been dropped or has been misused or modified.Precautions:Carry out periodic test measurements. Particularly after the instrument has been subject to abnormal use, and before, during and after important measure-ments.Make sure the Leica DISTO™ optics is kept clean and that there is no mechanical damage to the bumpers.
3Leica DISTO™ 743363b gb DGBFIEPNLDKSNFINJCNRCROKPLHRHRUSCZGRLTLVESTSLOSKMTRCAUTION:In using the instrument for distance measure-ments or for positioning moving objects (e.g. cranes, building equipment, platforms, etc.) unforeseen events may cause erroneous measurements.Precautions:Only use this product as a measuring sensor, not as a control device. Your system must be configured and operated in such a way, that in case of an erroneous measurement, malfunction of the device or power failure due to installed safety measures (e.g. safety limit switch), it is assured that no damage will occur.WARNING:Flat batteries must not be disposed of with household waste. Care for the environment and take them to the collection points provided in accordance with national or local regulations.The product must not be disposed of with household waste.Dispose of the product appropriately in accordance with the national regulations in force in your country.Always prevent access to the product by unauthorized personnel.Product specific treatment and waste management information can be downloaded from the Leica Geosystems home page at http://www.leica-geosystems.com/treatment or received from your Leica Geosystems dealer.CAUTION:Aiming the telescopic viewer directly at the sun or at the reflected laser beam (reflected off metallic or mirroring surfaces, prisms...) is hazardous to the eyes.Precautions:Never aim the telescopic viewer directly at the sun or at highly reflecting surfaces (metallic or mirroring surfaces, prisms......).Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)The term "electromagnetic compatibility" is taken to mean the capability of the product to function smoothly in an environment where electromagnetic radiation and electrostatic discharges are present, and without causing electromagnetic interference to other equipment.WARNING:The Leica DISTO™ conforms to the most strin-gent requirements of the relevant standards and regulations. Yet, the possibility of it causing interfer-ence in other devices cannot be totally excluded.FCC statement (applic. in U.S.)This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful inter-ference in a residential installation.This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
4Leica DISTO™ 743363b gbDGBFIEPNLDKSNFINJCNRCROKPLHRHRUSCZGRLTLVESTSLOSKMTRaccordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be deter-mined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for helpWARNING:Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Leica Geosystems for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.Position of the product label see last page!Use of the product with BLUETOOTH®:WARNING:Electromagnetic radiation can cause distur-bances in other equipment, in installations (e.g. medical ones such as pacemakers or hearing aids) and in aircraft.
