are compatible with an optional Handheld Barcode Scanner. Lasers can burn the retina, causing
permanent blind spots. To ensure safe laser operation:

Do not remove safety labels, instrument protective panels, or defeat safety interlocks.
·
The system must be installed and maintained by a Thermo Fisher Scientific Technical
Representative.
·
Remove jewelry and other items that can reflect a laser beam into your eyes or those of others
·
Wear proper eye protection and post a laser warning sign at the entrance to the laboratory if the
laser protection is defeated for servicing
·
DO NOT operate the laser when it cannot be cooled by its cooling fan; an overheated laser can
cause severe burns on contact.
The following table lists laser safety symbols and alerts that may be present on the instrument.
