z Precautions
* Do not operate the device above maximum ratings. Doing so may cause unexpected and permanent damage to the device.
* Take precautions to avoid electrostatic discharge and/or momentary power spikes. A change in the characteristics of the laser or premature failure may result.
* Proper heat sinking of the device assures stability and lifetime. Always ensure that maximum operating temperatures are not exceeded.
* Observing visible or invisible laser beams with the human eye directly, or indirectly, can cause permanent damage. Use a camera to observe the laser.
* No laser device should be used in any application or situation where life or property is at risk in event of device failure.
* Specifications are subject to change without notice. Ensure that you have the latest specification by contacting us prior to purchase or use of the product.
