The light emitter driver LD is at least partially disposed between the first electric switch SW 1 and the second electric switch SW 2 in the first direction D 1. The first electric switch SW 1 is located closer to the light emitter driver LD than the second electric switch SW 2 in the first direction D 1. A first distance DS 11 between the first electric switch SW 1 and the light emitter driver LD in the first direction D 1 is larger than a second distance DS 12 between the second electric switch SW 2 and the light emitter driver LD in the first direction D 1. Alternatively, the second electric switch SW 2 may be closer to the light emitter driver LD than the first electric switch SW 1 in the first direction D 1, if necessary or desired. The first distance DS 11 may be less than or equal to the second distance DS 12, if necessary or desired.The first electric switch SW 1 has a first length L 1 defined in the third direction D 32. The second electric switch SW 2 has a second length L 2 defined in the third direction D 32. The first electric switch SW 1 defines a first switch range SR 1 in the third direction D 32. The first switch region SR 1 corresponds to the first length L 1. The second electric switch SW 2 defines a second switch range SR 2 in the third direction D 32. The second switch region SR 2 corresponds to the second length L 2. The light emitter 292 is at least partially disposed in the first switch region SR 1. The light emitter 292 is at least partially disposed in the second switch region SR 2. For example, the light emitter 292 is located entirely in the first switch region SR 1. Light emitter 292 is located entirely in second switch region SR 2. Alternatively, the light emitter 292 may be partially disposed in the first switch region SR 1, if necessary or desired. The light emitter 292 may be partially disposed in the second switch region SR 2, if necessary or desired.The third electric switch SW 3 has a third length L 3 defined in the third direction D 32. The third electric switch SW 3 defines a third switching range SR 3 in the third direction D 32. The third switching range SR 3 corresponds to the third length L 3. The light emitter 292 is at least partially disposed in the third switching region SR 3. For example, the light emitter 292 is entirely disposed in the third switching region SR 3. Alternatively, the light emitter 292 may be partially disposed in the third switching region SR 3, if necessary or desired.As seen in FIG. 32, the light emitter 292 is at least partially disposed in a terminal region TR 2 defined as an outline of the terminal TM 2 as seen in the second direction D 2. The light emitter 292 is at least partially disposed in a battery area BR defined as an outline of the electric power source PS as viewed in the second direction D 2 in a state where the electric power source PS is disposed in the holding space 80 (see, for example, FIG. 13 ). For example, the light emitter 292 is partially disposed in the terminal region TR 2 as viewed in the second direction D 2. The light emitter 292 is entirely disposed in the battery area BR when viewed in the second direction D 2 in the state where the electric power source PS is disposed in the holding space 80 (see, for example, FIG. 13 ). Alternatively, the light emitter 292 may be entirely disposed in the terminal region TR 2 as viewed in the second direction D 2, if necessary or desired. The light emitter 292 may be partially disposed in the battery area BR, if necessary or desired, in the state where the electric power source PS is disposed in the holding space 80 (see, e.g., FIG. 13 ) as viewed in the second direction D 2.The second electric switch SW 2 is disposed to at least partially overlap the electronic controller CR or the wireless communicator WC when viewed from the second direction D 2. For example, the second electric switch SW 2 is disposed to partially overlap the electronic controller CR and the wireless communicator WC as viewed in the second direction D 2. Alternatively, the second electric switch SW 2 may be arranged to completely overlap at least one of the electronic controller CR and the wireless communication device WC when viewed in the second direction D 2, if necessary or desired.The second electric switch SW 2 is closer to the antenna WC 2 than the first electric switch SW 1 viewed in the second direction D 2. The third electric switch SW 3 is located closer to the antenna WC 2 than the second electric switch SW 2 when viewed in the second direction D 2.In the modification illustrated in FIG. 32, the above-described positional relationships are not limited to the positional relationships illustrated in FIG. 32.As seen in FIGS. 36 and 37, a restriction member 75 may be attached to the fixing member 70. The restricting member 75 is attached to the fixing member 70 to prevent the fixing member 70 from dropping off the clamp 20. The restriction member 75 has, for example, an annular shape and includes a hole 75A. The fastener 70 extends through the hole 75A. The restricting member 75 is made of a nonmetallic material or a metallic material. Examples of the nonmetallic material are elastic materials. Examples of the fastening member 70 are a nonmetallic washer, a metallic washer, a snap ring, an O-ring, a C-shaped ring, and a pin.The base structure 32 includes the through hole 74. the fastener 70 extends through the through hole 74. the fastener 70 includes a fastener body 70B and a head 70H. The head 70H is disposed at one end of the fastener body 70B. The fastener body 70B includes the male threaded portion 70A. The male threaded portion 70A is coupled to the threaded hole 72 to secure the operating structure 12 to the clamp 20 of the base structure 32.As seen in FIG. 36, the restricting member 75 has an outer length L 4. The hole 75A has an inner diameter DM 4. The through hole 74 has an inner diameter DM 5. The male threaded portion 70A has an outer diameter DM 6. The outer length L 4 of the restriction member 75 is larger than the inner diameter DM 5 of the through hole 74. the inner diameter DM 4 of the hole 75A is smaller than the outer diameter DM 6 of the male threaded portion 70A. As seen in FIG. 37, the restricting member 75 prevents the fastening member 70 from dropping out of the hole 74 when the fastening member 70 is not threadedly engaged with the operating structure 12.As seen in FIG. 36, the base structure 32 includes a first contact portion 77. the operation structure 12 includes a second contact portion 79. the first contact portion 77 is in contact with the second contact portion 79 in a state where the fastening member 70 is in threaded engagement with the operation structure 12. The restricting member 75 is spaced apart from the first contact portion 77 and the second contact portion 79 in the state where the fastening member 70 is threadedly engaged with the operating structure 12. Thus, the restricting member 75 is not disposed between the first contact portion 77 and the second contact portion 79 in the state where the fastening member 70 is threadedly engaged with the operating structure 12.In the present application, the term "comprise" and its derivatives, as used herein, are to be understood as open ended terms that specify the presence of stated features, elements, components, groups, integers, and / or steps, but do not preclude the presence of other unspecified features, elements, components, groups, integers, and / or steps.
