Foreword
This chapter describes the basic methods for operating the OTDR, including the keys
and frequently-used connectors. The touch screen operations have the same functions as
keypad operations. This manual provides only a brief description about the touch screen
operations. If you meet any problem when using the OTDR, please contact the technical
support engineers of us or the local agent.

Data connector
USB connector: A USB flash drive can be used to import the data to the PC data analysis
software that is delivered with the OTDR for subsequent analysis.
