3. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The following general safety precautions supplement the
specific WARNINGs, CAUTIONs and NOTEs that appear
elsewhere in this manual.

3.1 Laser Radiation. The AN/PEQ-2A employs invisible
laser radiation in the form of Infrared (IR) Aim and
Illumination Lasers. Nominal Ocular Hazard Distances
(NOHD) for safe operation are listed in Table i-1. Exposure
to the AN/PEQ-2A’s IR lasers inside these NOHDs can
cause irreversible damage to the human eye.
