Laser classification
The DISTO™ produces a visible laser beam which
emerges from the front of the instrument.
It is a Class 2 laser product in accordance with:
•
IEC60825-1 : 1993 "Radiation safety of laser
products"
•
EN60825-1 : 1994 "Radiation safety of laser
products"
It is a Class II laser product in accordance with:
•
FDA 21CFR Ch.I §1040 : 2001 (US Department of
Health and Human Service, Code of Federal
Regulations)
Laser Class 2/ II 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.
Precautions:
Do not look directly into the beam with optical aids.
CAUTION:
Looking into the laser beam may be hazardous to
the eyes.
Precautions:
Do not look into the laser beam. Make sure the laser is
aimed above or below eye level. (particularly with fixed
installations, in machines, etc.)
WARNING:
Looking right at the reflected laser beam in a
DISTO operated with telescopic viewfinder could be
dangerous when you aim at areas that reflect like a mirror,
or emit reflections unexpectedly (e.g. a mirror, metallic
surfaces, windows, prisms, liquids).
Precautions:
If you are using a telescopic viewfinder, do not aim at
areas that are reflective like a mirror, or which could
produce unintended reflections (e.g. mirrors, metallic
surfaces, windows, prisms).
Electromagnetic Compatibility(EMC)
The term "electromagnetic compatibility" is taken to mean
the capability of the DISTO™ to function smoothly in an
environment where electromagnetic radiation and
electrostatic discharges are present, and without causing
electromagnetic interference to other equipment.
WARNING:
Electromagnetic radiation can cause interference
in other equipment.
Although the DISTO™ meets the strict regulations and
standards which are in force in this respect, Leica
Geosystems cannot completely exclude the possibility that
interference may be caused to other equipment.
