Hello According to the manufacturer, a laser pointer of laser class 2 is installed. This is also evident on the warning label. According to the Ordinance to the Federal Act on Protection against Hazards by non-ionising radiation and sound (V-NISSG) of 27 February 2019: Section 5: Laser pointers Art. 22 Definition For the purposes of this Section, a laser pointer is a laser device which, by virtue of its and weight, can be held in the hand and guided by the hand and which can be used for pointing. hand and which can be used for pointing, amusement, defence and deterrence purposes. deterrence purposes.

Hi Here it is explained in more detail: https://www.bag.admin.ch/dam/bag/de/dokumente/str/nis/laser/faktenblatt_laserpointer.pdf.download.pdf/2018-02-13_Faktenblatt-Laserpointer_D.pdf As it is a class 2 laser pointer, possession and use indoors is still permitted until 19 June 2021 (2 years after the V-NISSG comes into force), after which possession and use is prohibited. All other categories (with the exception of category 1, which is not affected by the new law) are already prohibited (possession as well as use) from 1 June 2019. Under these circumstances, I find it somewhat borderline that Digitec (and Logitech) still advertise the item with a 3-year hardware warranty. The law is justified by incidents of glare, primarily in air traffic. Digital pointing devices are suggested as alternatives. As always, however, all this will probably be of no use, because glare will probably still occur (it was already forbidden before). In any case, I would now say: Hands off all Cat. 2 laser pointers! I myself bought an R700 in autumn and I am very sorry to have to throw away what is actually a very good device in 2 years - it was actually intended as a purchase for half a lifetime. :(
