•
Never look directly at the laser beam or directly at the sun when using the Vertex Laser instrument.

Do no use the Vertex Laser instrument together with other optical instruments, such as binoculars and lenses.
Using an optical instrument together with the Vertex Laser increases the danger of eye damage.
•
Do not depress the POWER button while aiming with the eye or looking into the optics from the objective side.
•
Do not disassemble the Vertex Laser instrument. Any signs of disassembling automatically withdraw any
warranties and the manufacturer does not guarantee the product.

If the Vertex Laser instrument body cover is damaged, or if the instrument emits a strange sound due to dropping,
remove the battery and stop using immediately.
•
Never place the Vertex Laser in an unstable place.
•
Never look through the Vertex Laser instrument while walking.
•
If you should develop any symptoms of eye irritation or skin inflammation around the eye due to use of the
rubber eyecup, consult a doctor immediately.
•
If the Vertex Laser instrument should fail to operate correctly, discontinue use and consult the manual. If you are
unable to fix the problem, contact your local dealer for instructions or where to send the instrument for repair.
•
The VL402 instrument has built-in Bluetooth® for data transfer to external devices. There may be local restrictions
on the use of both Bluetooth® and laser technology. It is the operator’s responsibility to control that the
technology in the instrument is permitted to use in the area where the instrument is operated.

sunlight.
•
Use a soft oil-free brush to remove dust from the lens surface. To remove stains or smudges (fingerprints etc),
wipe lenses gently with a soft clean cotton cloth or oil-free lens tissue. Stubborn smudges can be removed with a

used one time.
