LASER WARNINGS AND SAFETY
NON-INTERLOCKED HOUSING WARNING
The Micro Galaxian II contains high power laser devices internally.
Do not
open the laser housing, due to the
potential exposure to unsafe levels of laser radiation. The laser power levels, if the unit is opened, can cause
instant blindness, skin burns and fires.
STOP AND READ ALL LASER SAFETY DATA
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS AND LASER SAFETY
The light source emitted from this product can potentially cause eye injury if not set up and used properly. The
light source emitted from a laser is very different from any other light sources with which you may be aware of.
Laser light is thousands of times more concentrated than any light from any other kind of light source. This
concentration of light can cause instant eye injuries, primarily by burning the retina (the back of your eyeball
contai
ning cells that are sensitive to light). Even if you cannot feel “heat” from a laser beam, it can still poten-
tially injure or blind you or your audience. Even very small amounts of laser beam light are potentially
hazardous even at long distances. Laser eye injuries can be sustained faster than you can blink.
Do not think that because this laser splits the laser beam into hundreds of beams and that the laser beam is
scanned out in high speed, that an individual laser beam is safe for eye exposure. This laser uses dozens of
milliwatts of laser power (Class 3B levels internally) before it splits into multiple beams (Class 3R levels). Many
of the individual beams are potentially hazardous to the eyes.
Do not that because the laser light is moving, it is safe. This is not true. Nor, do the laser beams always move.
Since eye injuries can occur instantly, it is critical to prevent even the smallest possibility of any direct eye
exposure. In the laser safety regulation, it is not legal to aim Class 3R lasers in areas which people can get
exposed. This is true even if it is aimed below people’s faces, such as on a dance floor.
Do not operate the laser without first reading and understanding all safety and technical data in this
manual.
Always set up and install all laser effects so that all laser light is at least 3 meters (9.8 feet) above the floor on
which people can stand.
After setting up, and before public use, test laser to ensure proper function. Do not use if any defect is
detected. Do not use if laser emits only one or two laser beams rather than dozens/hundreds, as this could
indicate damage to the diffraction grating optic, and could allow emission of higher laser levels above Class
3R.
Do not
point lasers at people or animals. Never look into the laser aperture or laser beams.
Do not
point lasers in areas in which people can potentially get exposed, such as uncontrolled balconies, etc.
Do not
point lasers at highly reflective surfaces, such as windows, mirrors and shiny metal. Even laser
reflections can be hazardous.
Never
point a laser at aircraft, this is a federal offense.
Never
point un-terminated laser beams into the sky.
Do not
expose the output optic (aperture) to cleaning chemicals.
Do not
use laser if the laser appears to be emitting only one or two beams.
Do not
use the laser if the housing is damaged, the housing is open, or if the optics appear damaged in any
way.
Never
open the laser housing. The high laser power levels inside of the protective housing can start fires, burn
skin and will cause instant eye injury.
Never
leave this device running unattended.
The operation of a class 3R laser show is only allowed if the show is controlled by a skilled and well-trained
operator, familiar with the data included in this manual.
The legal requirements for using laser entertainment products vary from country to country. The user is
responsible for the legal requirements at the location/country of use.
Always use proper lighting safety cables when hanging lights and effects overhead.
