For CE-Countries
This scanner is in conformity with CE standards. Please note that an approved,
CE-marked power supply unit should be used in order to maintain CE conformance.
Laser Safety
The laser scanner complies with safety standard IEC 60825-1 for a Class 2 laser
produce.
Laser Light Viewing: The scan window is the only aperture through which laser light
may be observed from this product. A failure of the scanner motor, while the laser
diode continues to emit a laser beam, may cause emission levels to exceed those for
safe operation. The scanner has safeguards to prevent this occurrence. If,
however, a stationary laser beam is emitted, the failing scanner should be
disconnected from its power source immediately.
CAUTION
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with same or
equivalent type.
