SAFETY REGULATIONS
LASER SAFETY
The following information is provided to comply with the rules imposed by
international authorities and refers to the correct use of the DS4600A scanner.
Standard Regulations
This scanner utilizes a low-power laser diode. Although staring directly at the laser
beam momentarily causes no known biological damage, avoid staring at the beam as
one would with any very strong light source, such as the sun. Avoid that the laser
beam hits the eye of an observer, even through reflective surfaces such as mirrors,
etc.
This product conforms to the applicable requirements of both EN 60825-1and CDRH
21 CFR 1040 at the date of manufacture. The scanner is classified as a Class 2 laser
product according to EN 60825-1 regulations and as a Class II laser product
according to CDRH regulations.
There is a safety device which allows the laser to be switched on only if the motor is
rotating above the threshold for its correct scanning speed.
The laser beam can be switched off through a software command (see also the
WinHost Help On Line).
WARNING
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other
than those specified herein may result in exposure to hazardous
visible laser light.
The laser light is visible to the human eye and is emitted from the window on the front
of the scanner (Figure A, 2).
Warning labels indicating exposure to laser light and the device classification are
applied onto the body of the scanner (Figure A, 4 and 10).
