LASER SAFETY


English:
Mica 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:
Mica 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.
