User's Guide
Models: USB-RED-STN / USB-BLU-STN / USB-GRN-STN
Manufactured by BlissLights™
Notice
CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
This laser product is certified as a CLASS 3R laser product and adheres to the requirements of the US Federal Laser Product Performance Standard (FLPPS) contained in 21 CFR Subchapter J.
Avoid direct eye contact of CLASS 3R laser energy as it can be hazardous. This product uses diffractive optics to scatter the beam energy, reducing energy concentration for momentary or accidental viewing at a short distance. As with all bright light sources, restrict up-close access in unsupervised general public areas.
The device incorporates a protective housing and diffractive holographic optics, preventing exposure or human access to laser radiation above CLASS 3R limits. Each laser beamlet's power is under 1 mW.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES shall attempts be made to open the protective housing or operate the device if the aperture window is damaged. All service requiring opening the housing must be performed by authorized personnel. Opening the housing voids the warranty.
Airport Safety: Do not point lasers into the sky within 10 nautical miles (18.5 km) of an airport. If located within this perimeter, point lasers down at the ground to avoid stray beams. Check local airport or provincial guidelines for further information.
