Laser Devices
Symbol products using lasers comply with US 21CFR1040.10, Subchapter J and
IEC825/EN 60 825 (or IEC825-1/EN 60 825-1, depending on the date of
manufacture). The laser classification is marked on one of the labels on the product.
Class 1 Laser devices are not considered to be hazardous when used for their intended
purpose. The following statement is required to comply with US and international
regulations:
Caution: Use of controls, adjustments or performance of procedures other than those
specified herein may result in hazardous laser light exposure.
Class 2 laser scanners use a low power, visible light diode. As with any very bright light
source, such as the sun, the user should avoid staring directly into the light beam.
Momentary exposure to a Class 2 laser is not known to be harmful.
