Laser light precautions

This product emits a Class 1 (II) visible laser beam that is compliant with IEC/JIS, FDA
laser safety standards.
Warning and explanation labels are affixed to the sides of the sensor.

Warning Do not look directly at the laser or intentionally shine the laser beam in another person’s eyes.
