•
Do not use the devices in an explosive atmosphere. Do not operate the instrument in the presence of
flammable gases or fumes. Operation of any electrical instrument in such an environment constitutes
a definite safety hazard.
•
Do not use the devices in the vicinity of strong magnetic or electrical fields.
•
Before operating the devices in hazardous areas, contact the local safety authorities and safety
experts.
•
Do not expose the devices to rain or spray water. The devices should only be used in a non-
condensing environment.
•
When the product is transferred from a cold to a significantly warmer environment, water may
condense on some elements inside the devices. To avoid this, we recommend placing the devices in
an airtight plastic bag before bringing it from a cold to a significantly warmer environment. This
allows the condensation to form on the bag and not inside the devices. Remove the product from the
bag before starting it. If you do not have the possibility to pack the devices airtight, wait until
observable condensation water evaporates from the devices before switching on the devices.
•
Do not expose to extreme temperatures. The ambient temperature should not be lower or higher than
given in the specifications found in
.
•
Do not expose to dust, sand or other abrasive materials which will damage the glass covers of the
cameras.
Laser Safety
•
The Freestyle 2 is classified as a
class 1 laser
in accordance with IEC 60825-1:2014 (ed. 3).
•
Complies with 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 except for conformance with IEC 60825-1 Ed. 3., as
described in Laser Notice No. 56, dated May 8, 2019.
•
Freestyle 2 is safe under reasonably foreseeable conditions of operation. The maximum permissible
exposure (MPE) cannot be exceeded. It is harmless to the eyes if it is used and maintained in
accordance with the instructions in this user manual.
WARNING: Do not open the housing.
The laser beam passes through a Diffractive Optical Element
(DOE) before exiting the handset. The DOE splits the beam into multiple beams, each of
which is safe and harmless to the eyes. The single, undiffracted beam
inside
the handset is
not safe. Do not open the handset’s housing, or use it if the housing has been damaged.
Electrical Safety
Damage to Electric or Electronic Components
•
Do not immerse the devices into water or other liquids.
•
Do not use the devices near strong magnetic or electrical fields.
•
When the devices are transferred from a cold to a significantly warmer environment, water may
condense on some of the components inside the devices. To avoid this, place the devices in an
