WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND GENERAL NOTES
Safety Considerations
When installing or using this product, observe all safety precautions during handling and operation. Failure
to comply with the following general safety precautions and with specific precautions described elsewhere in
this manual violates the safety standards of the design, manufacture, and intended use of this product.
Emcore Corporation assumes no liability for the customer's failure to comply with these precautions.
Calls attention to a procedure or practice, which if ignored, may result in damage to the system or system component.
Do not perform any procedure preceded by a CAUTION until described conditions are fully understood and met.
Electrostatic Sensitivity
ESD = Electrostatic Sensitive Device
Observe electrostatic precautionary procedures.
Semiconductor laser transmitters and receivers provide highly reliable performance when operated in
conformity with their intended design. However, a semiconductor laser may be damaged by an electrostatic
charge inadvertently imposed by careless handling.
Static electricity can be conducted to the laser chip from the center pin of the RF input connector, and
through the DC connector pins. When unpacking and otherwise handling the transmitter, follow ESD
precautionary procedures including use of grounded wrist straps, grounded workbench surfaces, and
grounded floor mats.
Exposure to electrostatic charge is greatly reduced after the transmitter has been installed in an operational
circuit.
