IMPORTANT:
Please read and understand this section before operating the scanner!

The Laser

A laser is used to produce a thin line of light, which highlights a single profile of the object being scanned. The laser power is less than 80 microwatts, similar to a bar-code scanner. It is rated Class I, the Food & Drug Administration's lowest level, which indicates no known hazard. For added safety, the laser will always shut off after 30 seconds.

No maintenance is necessary, and any dismantling of the digitizer head assembly could result in hazardous radiation exposure. If the scanhead is not functioning properly please contact Cyberware Support.

CAUTION:
The use of optical instruments with this product, or disassembly of the digitizer head, will increase chance of eye hazard.

Here are some guidelines for safest operation of the laser.

• Choose a placement for the scanner that causes the laser to point toward a wall or other object, rather than out into the rest of the work environment. Limit the distance from the laser to the part of the room that it will hit first. That way only the person setting up the objects to be scanned is likely to be in the path of the laser.

• Form a habit of turning off the system (use the main power button on the left side of the scanner) when not in use. This not only saves energy, but also prevents the chance of laser light being emitted while the system is unattended.

• The laser will automatically shut off after 30 seconds. This provides protection if there is a problem with the normal function of the platform or scanner during the scan. Resetting the power or unplugging the AC power cable will also turn off the laser.

Be aware of the scope of motion for the platform, leaving adequate clearance for the equipment throughout a scanning session. Additionally, keep foreign objects away from the path of moving parts.

Voltages Inside Cabinet

Do not remove the cover on the digitizer head, as there are no user-serviceable parts. If you remove the cover, you could expose potentially hazardous voltages and a more powerful laser light. If the scanner is not working properly and the problem is not covered in the troubleshooting checklist on the Cyberware Support web site, contact Cyberware Support for service.
