*1. Using a 100 ☓ 100 mm white sheet of paper.
*2. Classified as Class II in the US FDA standards.
*3. The spot sizes are defined with the center strength of 1/e2 (13.5%).
As emitted light illuminance exists around the spot sizes, if there is a high reflective item near a sensing object, it may affect to a sensing result.
