Humidity
The unit can be operated in environments with up to 95% humidity, non-condensing (-35 to 75 °C).
Do not expose it to any environmental conditions or changes to environmental conditions that can
cause condensation to form inside the unit.
Storing and Shipping
To maintain optimum operating reliability, do not store the unit in locations where the temperature
falls below -40 °C or rises above 85 °C. Avoid any environmental condition that can result in internal
condensation. Ensure that these temperature and humidity requirements can also be met whenever
the unit is shipped.
Claims and Repackaging
Immediately inform JDS Uniphase and, if necessary, the carrier, if
• The contents of the shipment are incomplete
• The unit or any of its components are damaged or defective
• The unit does not pass the initial inspection
In the event of carrier responsibility, JDS Uniphase will allow for the repair or replacement of the unit
while a claim against the carrier is being processed.
Returning Shipments to JDS Uniphase
JDS Uniphase only accepts returns for which an approved Return Material Authorization (RMA) has
been issued by JDS Uniphase sales personnel. This number must be obtained prior to shipping any
material to JDS Uniphase. The owner’s name and address, the model number and full serial number
of the unit, the RMA number, and an itemized statement of claimed defects must be included with the
return material.
Ship return material in the original shipping container and packing material. If these are not available,
typical packaging guidelines are as follows:
1. Wear an anti-static wrist strap and work in an ESD controlled area.
2. Wrap the unit in anti-static packaging. Use anti-static connector covers, as applicable.
3. Pack the unit in a reliable shipping container.
4. Use enough shock-absorbing material (10 to 15 cm or 4 to 6 in on all sides) to cushion the unit
and prevent it from moving inside the container. Pink poly anti-static foam is recommended.
5. Seal the shipping container securely.
6. Clearly mark FRAGILE on its surface.
Warning
• Do not use the unit outdoors.
• To prevent potential fire or shock hazard, do not expose the unit to any source of
excessive moisture.
