3.1 General instructions
Although the ANSCHÜTZ LaserPower III Set is non-dangerous sporting equip-
ment, it is still possible that incorrect use or ignoring the operating instructions 
could generate risks. Storage and use therefore require particular care. 
The following safety and warning instructions must be observed without

  The batteries must be removed for extended periods of non-use of the 
LaserPower III Set.
  When transporting the LaserPower III Set from cold to hot rooms you must 
wait for about an hour before using.
INSTRUCTION !
Although the LaserPower III rifle is not a firearm in the 
sense of the firearms legislation, you must always make 
sure that the barrel [10] is pointing in a safe direction 
and is never aimed at people.
4 Legal provisions
INSTRUCTION !
The applicable firearms legislation, regulations and 
provisions of the respective territory and also the safety 
rules of the hunting and sporting organisations must be 
observed.
5 Intended use
The ANSCHÜTZ LaserPower III Set is designed exclusively for shooting at the 
target box. The target is displayed via a light signal to the target box and is  
reset using a remote control device. The five-piece target box is designed to  
catch and register a specially coded class 1 laser pulse of the laser rifle. The 
design distance for this is 10 metres. The actual target diameters will depend on 
the regulations of the Summer Biathlon applicable at the time (status June 2004).
6 Liability
ANSCHÜTZ will accept no liability or claims for compensation for 
damage of any kind arising from:
• Non-observance of this operating instruction manual,
• Improper treatment or repair
• Use of any parts other than genuine ANSCHÜTZ components,
• Incorrect handling or care
• Negligence
• Removing/destroying of the sealing lacquer/sealing sticker,
• Unauthorised tampering or
• Transport damage.
entstehen.
CAUTION !
Modifications and manipulation on the LaserPower III 
Set or its parts are prohibited and could, under circum -
stances, contravene the guarantee stipulations. 
Such modifications could have a negative effect on the 
safe use of the product and could lead to accidents that 
endanger life and limb. In these cases the guarantee is 
automatically voided.
CAUTION !
Material damage and slight bodily injury!

tration of foreign bodies and fluids (when changing the

may be used together.
The batteries must always be replaced at the same time

Delete: 
All illuminated target areas are reset by pressing the „Delete“ button [26].
On /Standby: 
You can switch backwards and forwards between the Standby and  
Ready to receive modes by pressing the „On  /Standby“ button [28]. In order  
to change from the Standby mode to the Ready to receive mode, you must  
press the „On/Standby“ button on the remote control for at least one second. Version: 
After pressing the LaserPower „Versions“ button [27], the user has 60 se-
conds from switching on the target box to select the LaserPower operating 
mode. After that time the menu is disabled in order to prevent incorrect settings 
being made during a competition. The current mode is indicated by the number 
of illuminated target areas for five seconds. e.g. if two target areas light up at the 
same time, the LaserPower III operating mode has been selected.
The following operating modes are available:
• One target area illuminated: .......................................... Laser Power I Mode
• Two target areas illuminated: ............................ Laser Power II and III Mode
• Three target areas illuminated: ..................................... Mode not yet defined
Brightness: You can set the brightness of the target areas by pressing the LaserPower 
„Brightness mode“ button [29]. The brightness of the target areas can be 
set in three stages. After power-up = restarting the target, the LaserPower target 
box will be in the „normal“ brightness setting. The change in brightness is made 
immediately after you press the Brightness button on the remote control. If at 
least one target area is lit up, then the change in brightness can be evaluated 
on the basis of the target area currently lit up. If no target area is lit up then after 
you press the button for changing the brightness for two seconds all five target 
areas will be lit up to allow you to evaluate the brightness setting accurately.

INSTRUCTION !
When using the remote control [19] the IR emitter [25] 
should be pointed towards the LaserPower target box  
in order to ensure problem-free operation.
Operating conditions of the remote controls
There are 3 types of remote control (see Fig. 12) that differ in the number of 
buttons.
INSTRUCTION !
Note on compatibility with earlier 1.x versions:
The LaserPower 1.x rifle version model has had several  
development stages, i.e. various different laser pulse de- 
tections. The target box V  3.x does not detect all laser  
impulse detections from LaserPower 1.x rifles made at the  
time.If the target box in version 3.x should fail to recognise 
the laser impulse of a version 1.x LaserPower rifle, please  
contact us. In this case we need to carry out a chargeable 
replacement of the Version 1.x rifle electronics.
Please note that, when using single 
button or two button remote cont-
rols, only the indicated button func-
tions are available.
So that, when using the single but-
ton remote control, only the „Dele-
te“ function is available. You can 
only deactivate the standby mode 
by isolating the power supply to 
the target box and then replacing 
it (e.g. by pulling the mains plug 
out or by removing the target box 
battery).
Further information is available in 
Chapter „Operating conditions of 
the target box V3.1“ on Page 13.
