(2) The output power is figured out by testing multiple mode optical fiber in 23°C±3°C
(3) The testing range will be different in different fibers
(4) The battery life is figured out by testing two new AAA battery in 23°C±3°C.The battery life will be a little different by using
different AAA battery.
