Protection against injuries
Some risks of injury cannot be ruled out despite the protective measures.
This is how you protect yourself and others:
WARNING
Risk of injury due to electric shock
Fire hazard due to short circuit
Defects in electrical devices/cables or contact with water can cause an
electric shock, short circuit or fire.
Make sure that all electrical devices/cables are intact and dry.
Replace defective cables. Do not operate defective devices.
Pull out the mains plug if a device/cable is:
Defective
Moist
Overheated
Not monitored (e.g. during the night).
WARNING
Health hazard due to magnetic fields
smart optics scanners and accessories include magnetic components.
Magnetic fields can be health-damaging.
Persons with implants, e.g. heart pacemakers, may only operate the
scanner and its accessories with medical permission.
CAUTION
Health hazard due to structured light
(concerns open scanners)
smart optics scanners work with structured light. Structured light can
trigger epileptic seizures and migraine, among other conditions.
People suffering from such conditions should cover the scanner with
light-tight foil when operating it.
