1. Add + 0.5% from 400 to 450 nm and from 990 to 1100 nm.
2. Minimum optical power required for accurate wavelength measurement:

400 nm ~ 500 nm
100 uW (-10 dBm)

500 nm ~ 1100 nm
10 uW (-20 dBm)

For power measurement below these levels, use MANUAL wavelength mode.

3. For input power > 100 mW:

Add +0.05% / 100 mW to power accuracy
Add +0.05 nm / 100 mW to wavelength accuracy
Example: 500 mW, 850 nm, accuracy = +4.2%, +1.2 nm

4. MANUAL wavelength mode: Add +0.5% for automatic wavelength correction.
5. Wavelength accuracy between 450 nm to 1100 nm.

Our goal is to design and produce the best optical test equipment available 
anywhere. To achieve this, we need your ideas and comments on ways we can 
improve out products. We invite you to contact us at any time with your 
suggestions.
