This symbol is used to alert the user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying this instrument.
Whisper includes a built-in laser pointer. It is important to adhere to
the following warnings and safety instructions to prevent injury:
Never shine a laser pointer into a person's eyes or stare into
the laser beam. This can cause instant temporary vision
dysfunction such as flash-blindness, disorientation, or glare.
This can be particularly dangerous if the exposed person is
engaged in a vision-critical activity such as driving. In addition,
prolonged and/or repeated exposure to the laser beam can be
hazardous and damaging to eyes.
Never aim a laser pointer anywhere at or near any person or
animal. Laser pointers are designed to point at inanimate
objects only. In some states and provinces, it is illegal to aim a
laser pointer at a law enforcement officer or any other person.
The purchaser/user is responsible for ensuring that his or her
use of the laser pointer conforms to any local laws.
Do not point a laser pointer at mirror-like surfaces. A reflected
beam can act like a direct beam to the eye.
Laser pointers are not toys. Do not allow a minor to use a laser
pointer unsupervised. In some states and provinces, it is illegal
for a minor to purchase and/or use a pointer. The
purchaser/user is responsible for ensuring that his or her
purchase or use of the laser pointer conforms to any local
laws.
Whisper pointer not available in Japan.
