CAUTION
Caution - Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures
other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation
exposure. The laser is emitted from the LC connector located at the top
of the tool. See the next page illustration for connector location.
•Never point the laser into the eyes of others.
•Do Not stare directly at the laser beam.
•Do Not set up tool to work at eye level or operate the tool on a
reflective surface as the laser could be projected into your eyes or
the eyes of others.
Viewing the laser output with certain optical instruments (for example,
eye loupes, magnifiers, and microscopes) within a distance of 3.9” (99
mm) may pose an eye hazard.
Remove the batteries when storing for an extended period of time to
avoid damage to the tool should the batteries deteriorate.

Care and Maintenance
a. Replacing the Ferrule
Adapter
Fiber tip of the launch cords should
be cleaned every fifty (50) connector
terminations. To clean, retract the
boot to expose the cable crimp
sleeve. Remove the Ferrule Adapter
by holding the crimp sleeve and
unthreading from the Ferrule
Adapter Assembly to expose the
white ceramic split sleeve.
b. Replacing the Split Sleeve
Twist the split sleeve and pull to
remove it from the assembly,
exposing the tip of the fiber. Clean
the fiber tip by wiping along fiber
clean wipes wet with isopropyl
alcohol, wiping from wet to dry, and
replace the split sleeve.
Note: 1.25 millimeter cord is shown for reference. The process is
the same for the 2.5 millimeter cord.
