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:

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.

Laser classification
Integrated distancemeter
The Leica DISTO™ produces a visible laser beam
which emerges from the front of the instrument.
It is a Class 2 laser product in accordance with:
• IEC60825-1 : 2001 "Radiation safety of laser
products"
• EN60825-1 : 2001 "Radiation safety of laser
products"
It is a Class II laser product in accordance with:
• FDA 21CFR Ch.I §1040 : 2004 (US Department of
Health and Human Service, Code of Federal Regu-
lations)
Laser Class 2/ II products:
Do not stare into the laser beam or direct it towards
other people unnecessarily. Eye protection is
normally afforded by aversion responses including
the blink reflex.
WARNING:
Looking directly into the beam with optical aids
(e.g. binoculars, telescopes) can be hazardous.
Precautions:
Do not look directly into the beam with optical aids.
CAUTION:
Looking into the laser beam may be hazardous
to the eyes.
Precautions:
Do not look into the laser beam. Make sure the laser
is aimed above or below eye level. (particularly with
fixed installations, in machines, etc.)
Integrated positioning bracket sensor Leica
DISTO™ A5
The integrated positioning bracket sensor produces
an invisible infrared beam, which does not leak from
the housing under general conditions.
It is a Class 1 laser product in accordance with:
• IEC60825-1 : 2001 "Radiation safety of laser
products"
• EN60825-1 : 2001 "Radiation safety of laser
products"
Class 1 / I laser products
Class 1 laser products are defined as safe in normal
operations under reasonably foreseeable conditions,
including direct viewing of the laser beam with optics
that could concentrate the laser output into the eye.
