LED LENSER® * SEO 5
The temperature range in which the SEO 5 can
be operated is -20 C° to +50 C°. Ensure that
the SEO 5 is not subjected to more extreme
temperatures, intense vibrations, explosive
atmosphere, solvents and/or vapours.
Also continuously exposed to direct sunlight,
high humidity and/or moisture have to be
avoided.
Changes, repairs and maintenance over and
above those described in the documents
accompanying the product may only be carried
out by authorised technical personnel.
Once it is found that the product is filled
with full batteries / accumulators in correct
orientation (polarity!) and correctly closed,
but nonetheless a normal, safe operation is
not possible or the product shows damage, it
must be rendered inoperative and not used
any further. In this case, for warranty matters,
contact your dealer.
16. Safety instructions
• This product is not a children's toy.• Since it
has small parts that can be swallowed, it is
not suitable for persons below 5 years.
• The article may not be used for examinations
of the eyes (e.g. for the so-called pupil test).
• When using it, the accumulation of heat, e.g.
by covering, must be avoided.
• If the product does not work correctly, the
first thing that must be checked is whether
this is due to discharged battery respectively
accumulators or because these are not
inserted correctly.
• If using in traffic, please follow the respective
legal regulations.
The hazard that poses the main threat in this
product through optical radiation is the Blue-
Light-Hazard (400 nm to 780 nm). Thermal
hazard threshold values are clearly not
reached.
The risk for the viewer depends on the use or
on how the product is installed. However, there
is no optical hazard as long as the aversion
responses limit the time of exposure and
as long as the information contained in this
instruction manual is observed.
The aversion reactions are triggered by the
exposure and they are to mean all natural
reactions that protect the eye from hazards
through optical radiation. This includes in
particular conscious aversion reactions such
as eye or head movement (e.g. turning away).
When using the product it is of particular
importance to bear in mind that the aversion
reactions of persons at whom the light is
directed at may be weakened or completely
suspended as a result of medication, drugs or
illness.
Because of the blinding effect of the product,
improper use may lead to reversible, i.e.
temporary impairment of sight (physiological
blinding) or afterimages, or it may trigger
feeling unwell in the sense of feeling queasy
and tired (physiological blinding). The intensity
of the temporary feeling of being unwell or
the time until it subsides depend primarily
on the difference in brightness between the
6
blinding-light source and the surrounding area.
Photosensitive persons in particular ought to
consult a medical consultant prior to using this
product.
As a matter of principle the rule is that high-
intensity light sources carry a high secondary
hazard potential due to their blinding effect.
Just like looking into other bright light sources
(e.g. headlights of a car), the temporary limited
impairment of vision and afterimages may lead
to irritation, inconveniences, impairments and
even accidents, depending on the situation.
The information applies to the use of a single
product. If more light-emitting products of
the same type or of a different type are used
together, the intensity of the optical radiation
may increase.
Every longer viewing/eye-contact with the
source of radiation of this product by the user
or other persons, with and without other light-
bundling instruments, is to be avoided as a
matter of principle! Instead, the eyes are to be
closed deliberately in such cases and the head
ought to be turned away from the light beam.
In case of a commercial use or the product's
use by public bodies, the user must be
instructed as to all applicable laws and
regulations that correspond to the individual
case of usage.
Important rules of conduct:
• Do not aim the light beam directly into the
eyes of a person.
• The user or any other person should not look
directly into the light beam.
• In the event of optical radiation hitting the
eye, the eyes must deliberately shut and the
head is to be turned away from the beam.
• The instruction manual and this information
must be stored safely and must be passed on
together with the product.
• It is prohibited to look straight into the light
that is being emitted by this product.
