Notices and Precautions
Caution: Class 1 Laser Product
The DragonEye Speed LIDAR® is a Class 1 Laser product in
accordance with U.S. 21CFR parts 1040.10 and 1040.11, which is safe

Avoid staring into the output aperture of the device,
Avoid directing the LIDAR at other individuals for prolonged
periods,
Do not direct the output of the LIDAR at anyone using optical

when possible. Avoid temperature extremes beyond -30°C and 60°C
when possible.
Caution: Use Care When Cleaning Optics
Glass surfaces should be cleaned with a soft cloth or tissue and
water. Isopropyl Alcohol (rubbing alcohol) can be used if needed.
Use water and a mild soap to clean the housing if necessary. Avoid
