1.1 LASER SAFETY


English:
This scanner complies with safety standard IEC 825-1 (1993) for a Class I laser
product. It also complies with U.S. 21CFR1040 as applicable to a Class IIa
laser product. Avoid long term viewing of direct laser light.

Optical:
The use of optical instruments with this product will increase eye hazard.
Optical instruments include binoculars, microscopes and magnifying glasses
but do not include eye glasses worn by the user.

Radiant Energy:
This scanner uses a low-power laser diode operating at 630~670 nm in an
opto-mechanical scanner resulting in less than 0.6 mW peak output power.
Laser light observed at 13 cm (5.1 in.) above the window through a 7 mm (0.28
in.) aperture and averaged over 1000 seconds is less than 3.9 µW per CDRH
Class IIa specification. Do not attempt to remove the protective housing of the
scanner, as unscanned laser light with a peak output up to 0.8 mW could be
accessible inside.

Laser Light Viewer:
The scanner window is the only aperture through which laser light may be
observed on this product. A failure of the scanner motor, while the laser diode
continues to emit a laser beam, may cause emission levels to exceed those for
safe operation. The scanner has safeguards to prevent this occurrence. If,
however, a stationary laser beam is emitted, the failing scanner should be
disconnected from its power source immediately.

Adjustments:
Do not attempt any adjustments to or alteration of this product. Do not remove
the scanner‟s protective housing. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

WARNING!

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of
procedures other than those specified herein may result in
hazardous laser light exposure.
