SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
LASER BEAM
The NORDIC ID PL3000 with a laser barcode scanner makes the PL3000 a
Class 2 Laser product. The laser scanner uses 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.
The NORDIC ID PL3000 fulfils the regulatory requirements as follows:
Caution: Use of controls, adjustments or performance of procedures other
than those specified herein may result in hazardous laser light exposure.
Although the brief exposure to the visible Class 2 laser beam is not known to
be harmful to the eye, the risk always exists that the light beam causes injury to the
eye, when the laser beam is aimed even indirectly via a reflecting surface (e.g.
mirror) at the eyes. So, always take care when you are reading bar codes or when
you troubleshoot bar code scanning problems. Never look in the direction of the bar
code scanner from which the scan engine emits the laser beam when you activate
the scanning process, nor aim the scanner at the human eye or the eye of any
animal.
Caution: EVERY TIME THE SCAN KEY IS PRESSED THE SCANNER
STARTS EMITTING LASER BEAM. By default the functioning of the scan key is
not conditional on any application being intended to read bar codes and nor is it
conditional on the field or the active area on the display in which barcodes can be
read or is intended to be read.
Caution: Any key on the Nordic ID PL3000’s keypad with the exception of a
power button can control the laser scanner. Besides the scan key or as a substitute
for the scan key the scan functionality can be mapped onto any other key on the
keypad.
