Precautions
2.1
Laser Precautions
WARNING:
DO NOT use magnifiers in the presence of laser radiation. Diffused laser light can cause
eye damage if focused with optical instruments. Should accidental eye exposure to laser light be
suspected, arrange for an eye examination immediately.
2.2
Cable Handling Precautions
CAUTION:
Fiber optic cable is sensitive to excessive pulling, bending, and crushing forces. Consult the
cable specification sheet for the cable you are installing. Do not bend the cable more sharply than the
minimum recommended bend radius. Do not apply more pulling force to the cable than specified. Do
not crush the cable or allow it to kink. Doing so may cause damage that can alter the transmission
characteristics of the cable; the cable may have to be replaced.
