Electrostatic Sensitivity
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 or receiver has been installed in an
operational circuit.
Service
Do not attempt to modify or service any part of the system other than in accordance with procedures
outlined in this Operation Manual. If the system does not meet its warranted specifications, or if a problem

When returning a plug-in or assembly for service, include the following information: Owner, Model Number,
Serial Number, Return Authorization Number (obtained in advance from Emcore's Customer Service
Dept.), service required and/or description of the problem encountered.
