The user must take the necessary precautions concerning the optical outputs of the
instrument and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Measurements on optical bers are difcult to execute and the precision of the results
obtained depends largely on the precautions taken by users.
AC/DC Safety
In conformance with the recommendations of standard EN 61010, the 6000A V2
Platform should be operated within the manufacturer’s guidelines. Failure to do so may
compromise the protection offered by the instruments design.
Do not use any mains adaptor or battery other than those supplied with the instrument,
or supplied by Viavi as an option for this instrument.
-The 6000A V2 Platform uses one Lithium ion (LiIon) rechargeable battery and a
lithium coin-cell. This is a long-life battery, and it’s possible that you will never need to
replace it. However, should you need to replace it, refer to your system documenta-
tion for instructions.
-Do not dispose of the battery/coin-cell along with household waste. Contact your
local waste disposal agency for the address of the nearest battery/coin-cell deposit
site.
