CAUTION: The light emitted from the near-infrared light
emitting diodes (LEDs) provides illumination over a wide area.
This light is not considered a risk to the unshielded human eye.
However, as with any light source, it is recommended that

For example, avoid staring into the beam or viewing the LEDs
directly with optical instruments at close range.
