2. Precautions
2.1 Laser Precautions
WARNING:
DO NOT use magnifiers in the presence of laser radiation. Diffused laser light
can cause eye damage if focused with optical instruments. Should accidental eye exposure to
laser light be suspected, arrange for an eye examination immediately.
2.2 Cable Handling Precautions
CAUTION:
Fiber optic cable is sensitive to excessive pulling, bending, and crushing forces.
Consult the cable specification sheet for the cable you are installing. Do not bend the cable
more sharply than the minimum recommended bend radius. Do not apply more pulling force
to the cable than specified. Do not crush the cable or allow it to kink. Doing so may cause
damage that can alter the transmission characteristics of the cable; the cable may have to be
replaced.
