!
CAUTION
The FE-100F3 uses Class 1 lasers. Do not use optical
instruments to view the laser output. The use of optical
instruments to view laser output increases eye hazard. When
viewing the output optical port, power must be removed from
the network adapter.
!
CAUTION
Do not touch the ends of the fiber optic strands, and do not let
the ends come in contact with dust, dirt, or other contaminants.
Contamination of the ends causes problems in data
transmissions. If the ends of the fiber optic strands become
contaminated, use a canned duster to blow the surfaces clean.
A fiber port cleaning swab saturated with optical-grade
isopropyl alcohol may also be used to clean the ends.
