ENSafety Instructions
FCC statement (applicable in
U.S.)
This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reason-
able protection against harmful interference
in a residential installation.This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio
communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interfer-
ence will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interfer-
ence to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment
off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:
•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•Increase the separation between the
equipment and receiver.
•Connect the equipment into an outlet on a
circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
•Consult the dealer or an experienced
radio/TV technician for help.
Laser classification
The device produces visible laser beams,
which are emitted from the instrument:
It is a Class 2 laser product in accordance
with:
•IEC60825-1 : 2007 „Radiation safety of
laser products“
Laser Class 2 products:
Do not stare into the laser beam or direct it
towards other people unnecessarily. Eye
protection is normally afforded by aversion
responses including the blink reflex.
WARNING
Looking directly into the beam with optical
aids (e.g. binoculars, telescopes) can be
hazardous.
CAUTION
Looking into the laser beam may be
hazardous to the eyes.
