SAFETY AND WARNINGS
READ THOROUGHLY ALL DIRECTIONS AND SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED IN THIS PACKAGE. FAILURE TO COMPLY
MAY RESULT IN AN UNSAFE FIREARM CONDITION THAT MAY CAUSE
PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
WARNING!
•  TARGET MUST HAVE A SAFE BACKSTOP.
•  BYSTANDERS MUST STAY BEHIND THE SHOOTERS AT ALL TIMES.
•  ALWAYS  WEAR  EYE  AND  HEARING  PROTECTION. Shooter must
maintain proper eye relief from optical sighting devices and wear
eye protection at all times.
•  FOLLOW  LOCAL, STATE  AND  FEDERAL  LAWS  REGARDING 
FIREARM USE.
ALWAYS FOLLOW THE RULES OF FIREARM SAFETY.
UNLOAD FIREARM, OPEN FIREARM ACTION AND ENGAGE FIREARM
SAFETY  BEFORE MAKING ANY FIREARM ADJUSTMENTS. DO NOT 
REACH IN FRONT OF FIREARM MUZZLE TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS.
ALWAYS KEEP FIREARM MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION
WHEN MAKING ADJUSTMENTS, LOADING FIREARM AND
DISCHARGING  FIREARM. CARE  SHOULD  BE  TAKEN  TO  ENSURE 
THAT THERE IS NOT INTERFERENCE WITH THE FIREARM STOCK,
SLING OR ACTION.
WARNING! Never exceed published recommended gun
powder amounts in reloads to achieve higher velocities in your
ammunition. Increasing the amount of powder could cause a
dangerous condition that may cause property damage, personal
injury or death.
WARNING! Velocity measurements should not be used to
calculate combustion pressures in your cartridge or chamber. Again, do
not exceed published maximum powder levels in your ammunition.
WARNING! Do NOT try to protect your chronograph with armor
plating. Bullet ricochet from hitting this plating could cause property
damage, personal injury or death. Chronograph components are
replaceable.
All chronograph units have inherent uncertainty when recording
velocity measurements. Several uncontrollable variables can affect
each measurement and contribute to this uncertainty, including sunlight
intensity, sunlight orientation, cloud cover, wind, shadows, and ground
reflectivity of cement, water, or snow, etc. When collecting data, be
suspicious of any data points that have greater than a 4% difference of 
that ammo’s average string velocity.
Special care should be taken when shooting certain types of
ammunition. Gas checks, wads, sabots, etc. can separate and impact
your chronograph causing damage to the device.
Also, as with any electronic device, water can damage certain
components. Be careful when using the chronograph outdoors in rainy
weather to prevent damage to the Keypad/Display Unit or Skyscreens.
