CAUTION

Always fit the protective cover to the installed optical
transceiver. If dust enters the optical connector, it may
cause measurement problems.

Optical transceiver can be damaged by electrostatic
discharge. To prevent risk of ESD, touch the frame
ground connector on the front panel.

If the optical connector ferrule is dirty, clean it as
described in section 10.3 “Cleaning Optical Connector
Ferrule”.

Do not look directly into the optical connector when a
fiber cable is not connected, because laser light from
the optical transceiver may enter your eyes.

Before inserting and removing the optical transceiver
always disconnect any connected optical fiber cable. If
the transceiver is inserted while optical fiber is
connected, there is a risk of damage to the optical
connector of the optical transceiver or to the fiber.

Do not touch the optical connectors between the
optical transceiver and the BERTWave. If they are
touched there is a risk of damage to the optical
transceiver.

Operation is not assured if an optical transceiver other
than those recommended by Anritsu is used. Only use
recommended modules. The list of recommended
modules are available at our website:


The internal connector for optical transceivers has an
insertion/removal life span of 100 times. If optical
transceivers are inserted/removed more than 100 times,
aging wear may cause connection failures. Make sure
to observe this specification.
