Laser Safety
The Imation SuperDisk drive contains a Class 1 laser that produces visible laser light
at an intensity of up to 7 milliwatts (at 633 nanometers). Special precautions have
been taken in the design of the disk drive to ensure that the operator will not be
exposed to the laser light. Avoid looking directly into the laser beam path or any
reflection of it. Laser light of this intensity can cause serious eye damage.
