Notices
3 Gently remove the battery from its holder using a blunt instrument for leverage such as a
screwdriver if necessary. In some cases the battery will need to be desoldered from the
PCB.
4 Dispose of the battery and equipment according to your local environmental laws and
guidelines.
Laser Safety - Fiber Output SFP and QSFP Modules Warning
WARNING
• Be careful not to short-circuit the battery by adhering to the
appropriate safe handling practices.
• Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may explode.
• Batteries may explode if damaged or overheated.
• Do not dismantle, open or shred batteries.
• In the event of a battery leak, do not allow battery liquid to come in
contact with skin or eyes.
• Seek medical help immediately in case of ingestion, inhalation, skin
or eye contact, or suspected exposure to the contents of an opened
battery.
LASER SAFETY
The average optical output power does not exceed 0 dBm (1mW) under normal operating
conditions. Unused optical outputs should be covered to prevent direct exposure to the
laser beam.
Even though the power of these lasers is low, the beam should be treated with caution
and common sense because it is intense and concentrated. Laser radiation can cause
irreversible and permanent damage of eyesight. Please read the following guidelines
carefully:
• Make sure that a fiber is connected to the board's fiber outputs before power is
applied. If a fiber cable (e.g. patchcord) is already connected to an output, make sure
that the cable's other end is connected, too, before powering up the board.
•
Do not
look in the end of a fiber to see if light is coming out. The laser wavelengths
being used are totally invisible to the human eye and can cause permanent damage.
Always use optical instrumentation, such as an optical power meter, to verify light
output.
