Use Instructions

1.3 Ventilation holes
The ventilation holes in the rear panel and bottom side of the device should not be blocked in any
way to ensure sufficient airflow and therefore to avoid excess heating of the device. To emphasize
this, the device has been marked with the text “DO NOT BLOCK VENTILATION HOLES”.
Please note that ventilation holes are not protected against harmful ingress of water
from splashes, dripping or sprayed water. Such exposure must be avoided.
Do not cover any ventilation holes of the device.
PROHIBITED
MANDATORY
Make sure that there is at least 2 inches clearance around the device for cooling purposes.
1.4 Laser light safety
The output power of the laser goes up to 400mW. As such, the device is classified as a
class 3B laser product, which is indicated with the warning label in section 5.
By definition, a class 3B laser is normally hazardous when direct or reflected ocular exposure occurs,
including accidental short time exposure. These lasers may produce minor skin injuries or even
ignite combustible materials, and thus may represent a fire risk. The use of flammable anesthetics
or oxidizing gases such as nitrous oxide (N
2
O) and oxygen should be avoided. Some materials,
for example cotton wool when saturated with oxygen may be ignited by the high temperatures
produced in normal use of the laser equipment. The solvents of adhesives and flammable solutions
used for cleaning and disinfecting should be allowed to evaporate before the laser equipment
is used. Attention should also be drawn to the danger of ignition of endogenous gases.
As a class 3B laser device, ML6710i is equipped with a key switch and a safety interlock. Laser
equipment not in use should be protected against unqualified use, for example by removal
of the key from the key switch. The laser design allows using a separate remote interlock
prohibiting laser emission when a door to the laser room is opened, for example.
The device control electronics are designed to prevent any unintended
laser emission in the event of single fault failures.
The device is equipped with protective fuses, which are not user replaceable.
