port is active.
CThe LED lights when the output is in continuous wave (CW) mode
or blinks when the output is modulated at 2 kHz. Press Cto
switch modes. Use continuous wave mode (LED on steady) for
making loss or power measurements with a meter other than a
SimpliFiber meter. Use the 2 kHz modulated mode for identifying
fibers with a fiber identifier.
DLow battery LED. Replace the batteries when the LED lights.
ESwitches the output between 850 nm and 1300 nm.
FSwitches the output between continuous wave (CW) and 2 kHz
modulated modes. See C.
GOn/off key.
HSwitches the output to Auto mode, which is used only with the
SimpliFiber meter. In Auto mode the output is encoded to tell the
SimpliFiber meter which wavelength is being transmitted. Press
Cto exit Auto mode.
See the documentation for your fiber optic meter for details on
setting a reference and making measurements.

Maintenance
Clean the case with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Do not use
abrasives or solvents.
Clean the connectors with lint-free swabs, wipes moistened with
isopropyl alcohol, or pre-moistened swabs or wipes approved for use on
fiber connectors. Always dry the connectors immediately after cleaning.
Periodically inspect the connector endfaces with a fiber microscope,
such as a Fluke Networks FiberInspectorVideo Microscope. If an
endface is damaged, contact Fluke Networks for service information.
Replace the batteries when the Low Battery LED lights. The source uses
2 AA alkaline batteries. To access the batteries, remove the battery
compartment cover on the back of the source.
