Laser
pointers are designed to illuminate
inanimate objects. Never shine a laser
pointer toward any person, aircraft,
or other vehicle.
Never look
directly into the beam of a laser
pointer of any type.
Do not allow
children to use a pointer
unsupervised. Laser pointers are not
toys.
Never leave the instrument unattended with
the laser switched on.
Do not aim a
laser pointer toward mirrors or other
shiny surfaces. The reflected beam may
inadvertently strike someone in the
eye.
Do not aim a
laser pointer in the direction of
anyone using a telescope or binoculars
for either astronomical or terrestrial
viewing.
Do not aim a
laser pointer skyward if you hear or
see an aircraft of any kind flying
overhead.
Do not use a
laser pointer within 3 kilometers (2
miles) of an airport.
Be aware of
irresponsible uses of pointers so that
the psychological effect will be
minimized if you happen to be
illuminated by one.
UNDER NO
CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE GENERAL
PUBLIC BE ABLE TO COME IN CONTACT WITH
THE BEAM OR DOT PROJECTED OR BE ABLE
TO CROSS THE PATH OF THE BEAM FROM THE
LASER AS THIS MAY ALLOW ACCIDENTAL
EXPOSURE.
