the safety interlocks are defeated. Invisible
laser radiation is present when the CD Player’s
lid is open and the system’s interlock has
failed or been defeated. It is very important
that you avoid direct exposure to the laser
beam at all times. Please do not attempt to
defeat or bypass the safety switches.
