5 Safety Guide
▪
Before disconnecting the power cord, make sure to turn off the power on the device
using the power switch on the main unit.
▪
Only use the power adaptor supplied together with the i500. The use of other power
adaptors may result in damage to the system.
▪
Avoid pulling on the communication cables, power cables, etc. used in the i500

5.6 Eye Safety
WARNING
▪
The i500 system projects a bright light from its tip during scanning.
The bright light projected from the tip of the i500 is not harmful to the eyes.
However, you should not look directly at the bright light nor aim the light beam into
the eyes of others. Generally, intense light sources can cause eyes to become brittle,
and the likelihood of secondary exposure is high. As with other intense light sources
exposure, you may experience temporary reduction in visual acuity, pain, discomfort,
or visual impairment, which increases the risk of secondary accidents.
