Reported risk: A software bug was detected by the manufacturer's engineering; it may cause higher power output than the one shown on the unit's screen. It is rare and can only happen if the user deliberately uses a shortcut to adjust the power (instead of using the "+" and "-" icons) along with a specific combination of 4 unique laser parameters (which is a again a rare combination). The laser has been in use worldwide for 2 years and no one to date has encountered this.
