Below are pictures of our 2010 red & green laser pointer prototype with Dual Lock Technology. The picture below is the front of the laser pointer. It would seem there are no differences as our previous models both have a LED indicator and a Power button. The difference is the front casing is now 1 solid metal piece. In our previous models, the head was actually split into two pieces (there is a silver ring between the warning stickers).

The below picture is where our "Dual Lock" technology comes in. As you know, it takes a certain amount of safety features to make a high power laser pointer "safe" for public use. The FDA requires class 3b lasers to have a key lock and a remote lock. Both locking features are included in our new line of laser pointers.

The locks are more apparant in the picture below where both locks have been removed. The side lock is the "key lock". The larger key is part of the remote lock feature. The remote lock gets its name from allowing the laser pointer to be turned on and off from a remote location. I will go over this more below.

The laser pointer will work only if both keys are inserted into the laser pointer. Notice in the picture below, there is an additional key not seen before. You may recognize this key as a feature of our portable laser units.

The remote lock is actually consisted of two separate keys. The circular key (without the red loop) is used when you do not need to operate the laser pointer remotely. Most people will never need to touch this key. Just keep the key inserted. If you need to operate the laser pointer remotely, you must first replace the remote lock as per the picture below with the key with the red wire loop. To control the laser pointer remotely, you simply cut the red loop and add you own power button externally.

Again, most people will not have to remove this key.  In fact, most will probably not need to remove either of these keys so you will always have the laser pointer on "working" mode. Our new line of laser pointers should be ready for sale in another 1-2 weeks!
