Cautions for use
The TEL1050 rangefinder employs an eye-safe laser. Nevertheless, do not switch the
unit while aiming at a human eye or while looking into the lens.
Do not aim at the sun or strong light with the product so that the photosensitive
elements are not damaged.
Keep the rangefinder out of reach of children.
Do not disassemble the product.
Do not use any power source other than a 3-V CR2 Lithium battery.
Make sure the battery polarity is correct.
Remove the battery from the product if you are not using it for an extended period.
The device can only be used outdoors
10. Maintenance
Lenses
Do not wipe dust or sand from the lens, but rather blow it off or remove it using a soft
lens brush.
Fingerprints may affect the lens surfaces after a time. The easiest way to clean lens
surfaces is to breathe on them and rub them using a clean optic-cleaning cloth.
Use of a coarse cloth or unnecessary rubbing may scratch the lens surface and
eventually cause permanent damage.
Do not use a velvet cloth or ordinary tissue, as it may scratch the lens surface.
Once a cloth has been used for cleaning the body of the product, it should not be used
again for the lens surface.
For a more thorough cleaning, photographic lens tissue may be used.
