California Proposition 65 Position Statement
California Proposition 65, officially known as the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act of 1986, was enacted in November 1986. The proposition aims to protect
individuals in the state of California and the state’s drinking water and environment from
excessive exposure to chemicals known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. The state maintains a list of such chemicals.
Businesses are required to provide a clear and reasonable warning before knowingly and
intentionally exposing individuals in the state of California to a listed chemical. A warning
is not required if the anticipated exposure level will not pose a significant risk of cancer or
is significantly below levels observed to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.
VIAVI products contain chemicals such as lead and lead compounds that are listed by the
state of California as causing cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. However,
VIAVI products are intended for use in occupational settings only and are not for consumer
sale or use. Therefore, exposure to the hazardous chemicals in VIAVI products is
considered “occupational exposure”. Commercial customers who purchase products for
use in occupational settings in the state of California, please refer to
www.P65Warnings.ca.gov for more information on the warning requirements.

The information provided in this statement is intended for informational purposes
only and is not intended to be a representation or warranty of any kind, nor is it
intended to modify in any way the terms and conditions of any agreement between
your company and VIAVI, or the rights of either party arising therefrom.

Safety Hazards
Toxic Hazards
Beryllia
Beryllium Copper
WARNING
Some of the components used in this device may include resins and other materials
which give off toxic fumes if incinerated. Dispose of such items appropriately.
Avertissement
Certains des composants utilisés dans cet appareil peuvent comprendre des résines et
d’autres matériaux qui produisent des émanations toxiques lorsqu’ils sont incinérés.
Éliminez adéquatement de tels éléments.
Beryllia (beryllium oxide) is used in the construction of some of the components in this
equipment.
This material, when in the form of fine dust or vapor and inhaled into the lungs, can cause
a respiratory disease. In its solid form, as used here, it can be handled safely, however,
avoid handling conditions which promote dust formation by surface abrasion.
Use care when removing and disposing of these components. Do not put them in the
general industrial or domestic waste or dispatch them by post. They should be separately
and securely packed and clearly identified to show the nature of the hazard and then
disposed of in a safe manner by an authorized toxic waste contractor.
CAUTION
Some mechanical components within this instrument are manufactured from beryllium
copper. Beryllium copper represents no risk in normal use. The material should not be
machined, welded or subjected to any process where heat is involved.
Beryllium copper must NOT be disposed of by incineration. Beryllium copper must be
disposed of as “special waste” per local regulations.

Lithium
Electrical Hazards
Fuse Ratings
A Lithium battery is used in this equipment. Lithium is a toxic substance so the battery
should in no circumstances be crushed, incinerated or disposed of in normal waste. Do
not attempt to recharge this type of battery. Do not short circuit or force discharge since
this might cause the battery to vent, overheat or explode.
CAUTION
This device contains a Lithium Battery and may require special packaging and external
labeling when shipping. Contact Customer Service for packaging and labeling
instructions.
Mise en Garde
Cet appareil contient une batterie au lithium et peut nécessiter un conditionnement
spécial et un étiquetage externe lors de l’expédition. Communiquez avec le service à la
clientèle pour les instructions d’emballage et d’étiquetage.
CAUTION
Only use fuses specifically recommended for the device. Refer to product Safety and
Compliance Specifications or the product data sheet for recommended fuse current
and voltage ratings.
Mise en Garde
Utilisez uniquement les fusibles recommandés pour l’appareil. Consultez les
spécifications de sécurité et de conformité du produit ou la fiche technique du produit
pour les caractéristiques de courant et de tension de fusible recommandées.

Grounding the Chassis
The Chassis is provided with a protective grounding lead that conforms with IEC Safety
Class I. The supply lead must always be connected to the power supply via a grounded
contact in order to maintain the grounding protection. The Chassis must be properly
grounded to prevent damage to the device from electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Residual Current
Input Overload
WARNING
Improper grounding of equipment can result in electrical shock. To ensure proper
grounding, this device should only be connected to a grounded AC Power Supply.
Avertissement
La mise à la terre inadéquate de l’équipement peut entraîner un choc électrique. Pour
s'assurer d’une mise à la terre adéquate, cet appareil doit seulement être branché à
une alimentation électrique CA mise à la terre.
WARNING
The supply filter contains capacitors that may remain charged after the device is
disconnected from the power supply. The residual energy is within the approved safety
requirements, however, a slight shock may be felt if the plug pins are touched
immediately after removal.
Avertissement
Le filtre d’alimentation contient des condensateurs qui peuvent rester chargés une fois
l’appareil débranché de l'alimentation électrique. L’énergie résiduelle est dans les limites
des exigences de sécurité approuvées. Par contre, un léger choc électrique peut être
ressenti si l’on touche les broches de la prise immédiatement après son débranchement.
CAUTION
Do not overload input connectors. Refer to product Safety and Compliance
Specifications or the product data sheet for maximum input ratings.
Mise en Garde
Identifiez les conditions ou les activités qui, si ignorées, peuvent entraîner des
dommages à l’équipement ou aux biens, p. ex. un incendie.
