Precautions for Laser Diode Emission Check

When checking the emission of the laser diode during adjust- ments, never view directly downwards as this may lead to blindness.

Precautions for Using Optical Pick-up (KMS-280A)

As the laser diode inside the optical pick-up damages by static electricity easily, solder the laser tap of the Optical pick-up flexible board when handling. Also take the necessary measures to prevent damages by static electricity. Handle the Optical pick- up flexible board with care as it breaks easily.

This MiniDisc player is classi- fied as a CLASS 1 LASER product.
