2 Laser Safety Conditions:

Users of EX-Dragon-D101 handscanners must follow the respective safety regulations in conjunction with
local specific regulations. General safety regulations are listed in the following paragraphs:
even though the level of energy is very low, the laser used in the EX-Dragon-D101 can damage the human
eye provided it is exposed to the laser beam over a longer period of time.
A laser diode is used in the handscanner. Even though no biological effects are known that may be caused
while looking into the laser beam for less than one minute, do not look into the laser beam directly. Also do
not look into the reflection of the laser beam (mirror).
The laser beam can be viewed by the human eye and exits the reading window of the handscanner.
A warning label is attached to the handscanner describing the laser and laser category. The EX-Dragon-
D101 device is a class 2 laser (according to IEC 825).
It is not necessary to open the handscanner for installation, application or maintenance. In addition only
settings or actions described in this handbook may be carried out on the scanner.
When optical parts of the laser have been damaged rays of a higher intensity than class 3B may exit the
device. The laser diode of the EX-Dragon-D101 is classified as 3B.
Labels cannot be attached to a laser diode. Hence the respective values are listed below:
