Orion SKYLINE 5673 - Manual

Orion ® SkyLine ™ Deluxe Green Laser Pointer
#5673
Congratulations on your purchase of the Orion SkyLine Deluxe diode
pumped, solid state, frequency doubled green laser pointer. The SkyLine
Deluxe emits a thin but intense beam of green laser light, which in a dark
sky appears to stretch all the way to the stars! The SkyLine Deluxe is a nifty
teaching aid, allowing you to point out stars, planets, and constellations to
other individuals or groups of people. The SkyLine Deluxe’s far-reaching
beam is visible not only by the person holding the pointer, but also by others
standing several feet to the side. It works even in light-polluted or moonlit
skies, though dark skies are best. Unlike other laser pointers, this advanced
design utilizes light control feedback to ensure full optical output power
across broad temperature ranges. This servo control technology provides for
instant bright laser light even during cool outdoor observing.
User Safety Precautions
The SkyLine Deluxe Green Laser Pointer is not a toy! It should be used
responsibly, and only by adults.
• Avoid Direct Eye Exposure.
• Class IIIA / 3R Laser Product.
• DO NOT shine the laser toward people.
• DO NOT shine the laser into or near the eyes of people or
animals. Direct eye contact with beam or bright reflection may
cause eye injury.
• DO NOT shine the laser toward moving vehicles of any kind, even
distant ones.
• DO NOT shine the laser at reflective surfaces, as the redirected
beam could enter someone’s eye.
• DO NOT shine the laser at aircraft. Shining lasers at aircraft may
be considered a felony.
Operation
Depress the power button to turn the laser beam on. The laser shines for as
long as the power button remains depressed. Releasing the power button
turns the laser beam off. The SkyLine Deluxe’s Class 3R laser is intended
for intermittent, short-duration use as a hand-held pointer. The laser should
be turned on for no more than a minute or two at a time, then left off for
a minute or so. Keeping the power on for longer durations may cause the
beam to dim. This will not damage the laser circuitry, however. After a period
of several minutes with the power off, the beam should shine at full intensity
again.
Using the SkyLine Deluxe is a convenient and fun way to point out specific
stars, planets, or regions of the night sky to fellow night sky enthusiasts. It’s
beam is especially useful for tracing constellation patterns. Simply point the
device towards a celestial object of interest and depress the power button.
Please use the SkyLine Deluxe sparingly at public gatherings so as not to
interfere with others’ enjoyment of the night sky. It should not be used where
others are taking astrophotographic exposures, as the light could register
on the resulting image.
Replacing the Batteries
To replace run-down batteries, rotate the end cap near the pocket clip coun-
terclockwise. Remove the two AAA batteries and replace with a fresh pair.
Insert both fresh batteries with the negative (-) end first. Then thread the end
cap back on, turning it clockwise.
Battery replacement is the only maintenance required by the user. Any
maintenance, service, or repair concerns other than battery replacement
should be communicated to Orion Customer Service at (800) 676-1343.
Service is not allowed by the user. Do not disassemble this product. If ser-
vice or repair is required, the unit must be returned to Orion.
