WARNINGWARNING
You arecautioned that changesor modifications not espressly approved in
this document could voidyout authority to operatethis equipment.
To reducethe risk of fireor electric shock,do notexpose this apparatus to
rain or moisture.
Toavoid electrical shock, do not openthe cabinet. Refer servicing to quali-
fied personnel only.
NOTENOTE
As the laser isharmful to the eyes,do not attempt todisassemble the cabinet.
Avoiding condensation problems
As much aspossible, avoid sudden temperature changes. Donot attempt
to use thedrive immediately after moving it froma cold to a warm location,
to raising the roomtemperature suddenly,as condensation may formwith
in the drive.If the temperature changes suddenly whileusing the drive,
stop using itand take out batteries for atleast an hour.
Storage
When long timeno use,must take out the batteriesto avoid destroying the
device.
Use batteries
At the same time, can not usedifferent style ordifferent capacitance batteries.
And only charge therechargeable batteries.

Calibration button
Push down thetrigger of thefiber identifier andhold, then
long press the button. Until thebeep be onand the
the screen shows"CAL", the environmentlight calibration is
finished.

Operation
7
Put the fiberinto the fiberlocation and pushdown the
trigger to begintesting. After1~3 seconds, itoutput the
results.
The data in the LCDmeans the signalintensity, if the
power value isover +5dBm, itwill be "HI",if the value is
less than -40dBm,it will be"LO".
Carrier frequency: 270Hz,1KHz, 2KHz andOFI.

Right to left Left to right
It is themain function to test the direction of the signal
in the fiber. When signalis transporting inthe fiber,the
corresponding indicative led will be on.

Maintenance and calibration
Routine attention
1.Fiber-optical adapter shouldkeep clean.
2.Please store thedevice in dryand ventilated place.
3.The long periodno use ,please take outthe batteries.

3mm fiber measurement performance decreases 30%, fiber with black coating can not be
measured, fiber with deep color coating performance decreases 10%~50%.
