Laser Compliance Statement

The CD-ROM drive in the IBM ThinkPad 380Z computer is a laser
product. The CD-ROM drive's classification label (shown below) is
located on the top of the drive.

CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT
LASER KLASSE 1
LUOKAN 1 LASERLAITE
APPAREIL A LASER DE CLASSE 1
KLASS 1 LASER APPARAT

The CD-ROM drive is certified in the U.S. to conform to the
requirements of the Department of Health and Human Services 21
Code of Federal Regulations (DHHS 21 CFR) Subchapter J for Class
I laser products.

In other countries, the drive is certified to conform to the
requirements of EN60825.

DANGER

Do not open the CD-ROM drive; no user adjustments or
serviceable parts are inside.

Use of controls, adjustments, or the performance of
procedures other than those specified might result in
hazardous radiation exposure.

Class 1 laser products are not considered to be hazardous. The
CD-ROM drive has an internal, Class 1, 0.5-milliwatt, aluminum
gallium-arsenide laser that operates at a wavelength of 760 to 810
nanometers. The design of the laser system and the CD-ROM drive
ensures that there is no exposure to laser radiation above a Class 1
level during normal operation, user maintenance, or servicing
conditions.
