Laser Safety Statement (For U.S.A. Only)
(For controllers with a CD ROM disk drive installed.)
The CD ROM mass storage system is certified as a Class 1 laser product
under the U.S. Department of Health and Human services (DHHS) Radiation
Performance Standard according to the Radiation Control for Health and Safety
Act of 1968.
This means that the mass storage system does not produce hazardous
laser radiation. Since laser light emitted inside the mass storage system is
completely confined within protective housings and external covers, the laser
beam cannot escape from the machine during any phase of user operation.
Warning
• Use of controls, adjustments, or performing procedures
different from those specified in this manual may result in
hazardous invisible laser radiation exposure. None of the
mechanisms within the mass storage system contain customer
or field-replaceable parts .
• The CD ROM drive becomes a Class 38 laser mechanism
when disassembled. If the CD ROM drive is disassembled,
exposure to the invisible laser beam and hazardous invisible
laser radiation could result in blindness. Do NOT disassemble
the CD ROM drive for any reason.
