Laser safety considerations

The device contains a laser emitter and corresponding drive circuitry. The laser output is designed to remain

within Class 1 laser safety limits under all reasonably foreseeable conditions including single faults in compliance

with IEC 60825-1:2014 (third edition).

The laser output remains within Class 1 limits as long as STMicroelectronic’s recommended device settings are

used and the operating conditions specified are respected (particularly the maximum timing budget, as described

in the product user manual).

The laser output power must not be increased by any means and no optics should be used with the intention of

focusing the laser beam.

Caution:

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in

hazardous radiation exposure.
