1INTRODUCTION
OLS-34/-35/-36
Optical Laser Sources
The Test Sets are specially designed for high
performance testing of all systems, i.e. broadband,
PONs, and Gigabit Ethernet.
Battery operation from two AA batteries and the robust,
shock-proof design provide long operating time in the
field even under tough conditions. AC line operation via
a separate AC adapter and the USB interface ensure
ease of use in the laboratory or production environment.
Differences between the devices
The OLS-34/-35/-36 family covers all the modes,

2 SAFETY INFORMATION
Battery operation
Ventilation
WARNING
Explosion danger
Short-circuiting the batteries can result
in overheating, explosion or ignition of
the batteries and their surroundings.
!Never short-circuit the battery contacts by touching
both contacts simultaneously with an electrical
conducting object.
!Only use AA size dry batteries or rechargeable
batteries.
!Make sure the batteries are inserted with the correct
polarity.
WARNING
Explosion danger
Dry batteries must not be recharged.
!The OLS-34/-35/-36 doesn’t have a recharge function
for rechargeable batteries, so there is no danger when
using dry batteries.
!Read the manual of the external charging device.
CAUTION
Insufficient ventilation
Insufficient ventilation can damage the
device or adversely affect its function
and safety.
!Ensure adequate ventilation when operating the
device.

3GETTING STARTED
Unpacking the device
Packing material
We suggest that you keep the original packing material.
It is designed for reuse (unless it is damaged during
shipping). Using the original packing material ensures
that the device is properly protected during shipping.
Checking the package contents
Your device is shipped with the following accessories:
• 2 dry batteries AA
• Operating manual
• Belt bag
Checking for shipping damage
After you unpack the device, check to see if it has been
damaged during shipping. This is particularly likely if the
packaging is visibly damaged. If there is damage, do not
attempt to operate the device. Doing so can cause
further damage. In case of damage, please contact your
local JDSU Sales Company. Addresses can be found at
www.jdsu.com.
Recovery following storage/shipping
Condensation can occur if a device that is stored or
shipped at a low temperature is brought into a warm
room. To prevent damage, wait until no more
condensation is visible on the surface of the device
before powering it up. Do not operate the device until it
has reached its specified temperature range and wait
until it has cooled down if the device was stored at a high
temperature (see “Ambient temperature” on page 27).

Power supply
The following power sources can be used to operate the
OLS-34/-35/-36:
• two 1.5 V dry batteries
(Mignon AA size, alkaline type recommended)
• two 1.2 V NiMH rechargeable batteries
(Mignon AA size)
• via the AC adapter
Battery operation
Replacing batteries
The battery compartment is on the back of the
instrument.
1. Pull down the lid to open the battery compartment.
2. Fit new batteries or remove the used batteries and
replace them with fresh ones.
NOTICE: Take care to insert the batteries correctly. The
correct polarity is indicated by a diagram
inside the battery compartment.
3. Close the battery compartment.
4. Press [*]to switch on.
Note: The batteries can not be recharged with the
OLS-34/-35/-36.
CAUTION
Dangers when handling batteries
Handling batteries may be dangerous.
Please note the following safety
instructions.
!Please note the battery operation safety information in
the chapter “Battery operation” on page 8.
Replacing batteries
!Do not replace individual batteries. Always change all
two batteries at the same time.
!Always use two batteries of the same type; i.e. do not
mix rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries.

JDSU OLS-34/-35/-36 15
3 GETTING STARTED
General tips on using batteries
• Always handle batteries with care.
• Do not drop or damage the batteries or expose them to
excessively high temperatures.
• Do not store the batteries for more than one or two days
at very high temperatures (e.g. in a vehicle), either
separately or fitted in the instrument.
• Do not leave discharged batteries in the instrument for
a long time if it is not being used.
• Do not store rechargeable batteries for more than 6
months without recharging them at intervals.
• Avoid deep discharging the batteries as this can cause
the cell polarity to reverse and make the battery
useless.
Protect the environment
Please dispose of any unwanted dry batteries and
rechargeable batteries carefully. They should also be
removed from the instrument if it is to be scrapped. If
facilities in your country exist for collecting such waste or
for recycling, please make use of these rather than
throwing the batteries in the normal trash. You will often
be able to return used batteries to the place where you
purchase new ones. Any dry or rechargeable batteries
that you purchased from JDSU can be returned to one of
our Service Centers for disposal.
