Laser Safety
The Q-Trak™ XP Model 7585 is a Class I laser-based instrument.
During normal operation, the user WILL NOT be exposed to
laser radiation.
The following precautions should be taken to avoid exposure to
hazardous radiation in the form of intense, focused, visible light.
• DO NOT remove any parts from the Q-Trak™ XP monitor unless
you are specifically told to do so in this manual.
• DO NOT disassemble the Q-Trak™ XP monitor. There are no
user-serviceable components inside the instrument.
The use of controls, adjustments, or procedures
other than those specified in this manual may result
in exposure to hazardous optical radiation.
If the Q-Trak™ XP monitor is used in a manner not
specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.
When operated according to the manufacturer’s instruction, this
device is a Class 1 laser product as defined by U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services standards under the Radiation Control
for Health and Safety Act of 1968.
The CO
2
measurement sensor is sensitive to radio frequency
interference. Electromagnetic fields produced by items including,
but not limited to, microwave ovens, Wi-Fi
®
routers, cellular
phones, and personal communication devices, i.e., walkie-talkie,
two-way radios, etc. have the potential to adversely affect the CO
2
measurement. To ensure a proper measurement these devices
should be TURNED OFF or placed in a mode that does not
transmit. If these devices are not turned off or placed in a mode
that does not transmit, the accuracy of the CO
2
measurement may
be compromised if these devices are located within four meters of
the CO
2
measurement sensor.
