SAFETY INFORMATION

Intended and proper use

The Nano-OSA devices are meant for professional use

only.

User must meet the the user requirements to operate the

device.(see next section)

Intended use also includes reading and following all user

information available for the devices. In particular, the

safety instructions in this book and in the user manual

of the device.

This instrument is intended for measurements on optical

fiber devices and systems.

◮

The instrument is intended for indoor usage only.

◮

Please make sure the instrument is not operated

outside the permitted ambient conditions.

◮

Observe the specified measurement range.

◮

Always make sure that the instrument is in proper

working order before switching it on.

◮

The module shall only be operated in VIAVI ap-

proved mainframes.

User requirements

OSA devices must be operated by skilled and trained

people only.

Skilled and trained people are those, who successfully

completed an appropriate training for handling laser

products or have been instructed in detail in handling
