2.2. NON-INTERLOCKED HOUSING WARNING

This unit contains high power laser devices internally. Do not open the laser housing, due to potential exposure to

unsafe levels of laser radiation. The laser power levels accessible if the unit is opened can cause instant

blindness, skin burns and fires.

Laser light is different from any other light source witch you may be familiar. The light from this product

can potentially cause eyes injury if not set up and used properly.

Laser light is thousands of times more concentrated than light from any other kind of light source. This

concentration of light power can cause instant eye injuries, primarily by burning the retina (the light

sensitive portion at the back of the eye). Even if you can not feel "heat" from a laser beam, it can still

potentially injure or blind you or your audience. Even very small amounts of laser light are potentially

hazardous even at long distances. Laser eye injuries can happen quicker than you can blink.

It is incorrect to think that because these laser entertainment products split the laser into hundreds of

beams or laser beam is scanned out in high speed, that an individual laser beam is safe for eye

exposure. This laser product uses dozens of milliwatts of laser power (Class 3B levels internally).

Many of the individual beams are potentially hazardous to the eyes.

It is also incorrect to assume that because the laser light is moving, it is safe. This is not true. Nor, do the laser

beams always move. Since eye injuries can occur instantly, it is critical to prevent the possibility of any direct eye

Avoid direct eye contact with laser light. Never intentionally expose your eyes

or others to direct laser radiation.

This laser product can potentially cause instant eye injury or blindness if laser

light directly strikes the eyes.

It is illegal and dangerous to shine this laser into audience areas, where the

audience or other personnel could get direct laser beams or bright reflections

into their eyes.

It is a US Federal offense to shine any laser at aircraft

There are no user serviceable parts inside the unit. Do not open the housing or

attempt any repairs yourself. In the unlikely event your unit may require service,

please contact the dealer nearest to you.

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those

specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
