Safety Information
WWarning: Class 1 Laser*
To avoid possible eye damage caused by hazardous
radiation:
•
Never look directly into optical connectors. Some
sources produce invisible radiation that can
permanently damage your eyes.
•
Never turn on the source unless a fiber is
attached to the port.
•
Do not use magnification to view the optical
outputs without proper filtering.
•
Use of controls, adjustments, or procedures not
stated herein might result in hazardous radiation
exposure.
WCaution
To avoid damaging fiber connectors, to avoid data
loss, and to ensure maximum accuracy of test results:
•
Use proper cleaning procedures to clean all fiber
connectors before every use. Neglecting this step
or using improper procedures can cause
unreliable test results and may permanently
damage the connectors.
•
Cover all connectors with protective caps when
not in use.
•
Never connect the source to an active network.
Doing so can disrupt network operations.
