The CO-OPM-PON meter has a USB port with USB cable, as well as the
related driver software. USB cable is used for data upload and self calibration
function. For the details of the software functionality, please refer to the
software instruction on the USB stick provided.
4.1 It is important to keep all optical connectors and surfaces free from oil,
dirt or other contaminants to ensure proper operation.
4.2 Use test jumper to avoid damaging interface.
4.3 Use dust cap to protect connector interface from begin scratched
or contaminated when Hand-held Power Meter is not in operation.
4.5 Use only appropriate ber optic cleaning material to clean connector
interface.
4.6 Remove batteries if unit will not be used for more than 1 week.
