Laser Safety
Introduction
This equipment contains an infrared laser that transmits intensity-modulated light
and emits invisible radiation.
Warning: Radiation
WARNING:
Avoid personal injury! Use of controls, adjustments, or procedures other
than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Avoid personal injury! The laser light source on this equipment (if a
transmitter) or the fiber cables connected to this equipment emit invisible
laser radiation. Avoid direct exposure to the laser light source.
Avoid personal injury! Viewing the laser output (if a transmitter) or fiber
cable with optical instruments (such as eye loupes, magnifiers, or
microscopes) may pose an eye hazard.
Do not apply power to this equipment if the fiber is unmated or unterminated.
Do not stare into an unmated fiber or at any mirror-like surface that could reflect
light emitted from an unterminated fiber.
Do not view an activated fiber with optical instruments such as eye loupes,
magnifiers, or microscopes.
Use safety-approved optical fiber cable to maintain compliance with applicable
laser safety requirements.
Warning: Fiber Optic Cables
WARNING:
Avoid personal injury! Qualified service personnel may only perform
the procedures in this manual. Wear safety glasses and use extreme
caution when handling fiber optic cables, particularly during splicing
or terminating operations. The thin glass fiber core at the center of the
cable is fragile when exposed by the removal of cladding and buffer
material. It easily fragments into glass splinters. Using tweezers, place
splinters immediately in a sealed waste container and dispose of them
safely in accordance with local regulations.
