General Information
SAFETY INFORMATION
Please read carefully the following notes to be able to
properly use the FastGene
®
FAS-DIGI Compact
imaging system.
Please wear the appropriate personal protective
equipment.
Please read the safety precautions stated in the
camera operating manual.
Using FastGene
®
Blue/Green LED-Transilluminator
DE instrument will normally not injure eyes, skins,
and samples. However, prolonged exposure of
human naked eyes with light irradiation in the blue
spectrum may increase the probability of suffering
from retina diseases. Therefore, we recommend
using the amber filter included in the box, when
handling the transilluminator while the FastGene
®
FAS-DIGI Compact box is open.
The transilluminator and the switch will heat up
due to the operation. The temperature is not
harmful and will not cause any defects.
Operate the FAS-DIGI Compact only if it is
connected to a safety socket.
Place the unit on a level surface with minimal
chance of dropping.
