CAUTION !!
During this procedure it is possible that the laser may fire, emitting laser radiation.
Therefore SAFETY EYEWEAR must be worn. The eyewear must have an optical
density of at least 5.8 at 745 - 765 nm.
The high voltages present in this system can be LETHAL. This procedure must
be performed only by those technicians who are familiar with the precautions
required when working with high voltage systems, and those who have been
trained on the MGL system and its particular hazards.
