Youare cautioned thatchanges or modifications not espressly
approved in thisdocument could void yout authority to operate this
equipment.
To reduce therisk of fire or electric shock,do not expose this
apparatus to rainor moisture.
To avoid electricalshock, do not open the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.
As thelaser is harmful to the eyes, do not attempt to disassemble the cabinet.
Precautions for Use
Use batteries
At thesame time, can not use different style or different capacitance batteries. Andonly use and charge the batteries the
product equipped..
Avoiding condensation problems
As muchas possible, avoid sudden temperature changes. Do not attempt to use the drive immediately after moving it
from a coldto a warm location, to raising the room temperature suddenly, as condensation mayform with in the drive. If the
temperature changes suddenlywhile using the drive, Stop using it and take out batteries for at least an hour.
Storage
When long timeno use, must take out the batteries to avoid destroying the device.
All is subjectto the object, the manual isfor reference only.

Analyse of the type and result shows the distance difference and power difference between marker A
and B.

4 points eventloss: marker a,A, b and B in 4 points
algorithm. Move themarkers appropriately,the
difference between the LSA valuein "a,A" and
"b, B" canbe used to judge the lossmore accurately.
A-B LSA loss: marker Aand B in2 points algorithm.
Calculate the differencebetween Aand B by the LSA
slope.
2 points attenuation:calculate the real attenuation between
marker Aand B, then unitized to the loss per kilometer, which
makes the noiseinterference larger.
A-B LSA attenuation: obtained after calculating the LSA
slope between markerA and B, and the attenuation is
relatively stable.
Reflectance: marker a,A and B in 3points algorithm.
Set "a,A" in the flat position before reflection and set
B in thehighest point of reflection to showthe
reflectance value.
A-B ORL: the ORL value between markerA and B,
Total ORL:the ORL value in the entire circuit.
