Safety Precautions
The general safety precautions described herein must be observed during all phases of operation. If the instrument is used in a
manner not specified in this guide, the protection provided by the instrument may be impaired.
YOKOGAWA assumes no liability for the
customer’s failure to comply with these requirements.
The following symbols are used on this instrument.
Warning: handle with care. Refer to the user’s manual or service manual. This symbol appears on dangerous locations on the in-
strument which require special instructions for proper handling or use. The same symbol appears in the corresponding place in
the manual to identify those instructions.


Failure to comply with the precautions below could lead to injury or death.

W ARNING
Use the Instrument Only for Its Intended Purpose
This optical measuring instrument is designed to measure the optical characteristics of light sources and evaluate their
performance. Do not use this instrument for anything other than as an optical measuring instrument.
Check the Physical Appearance
Do not use the instrument if there is a problem with its physical appearance.
AC Adapter
Do not use the other than AC adapter designed exclusively for theAQ7280.


Battery Pack
Only use the AQ7280 battery pack. Do not use this battery pack with other instruments. Only use the AQ7280 to char-
ge the battery pack. If the battery pack is still charging after 6 hours, stop charging it immediately. Your clothing may be
damaged or you may be injured if you come in contact with the electrolyte due to fluid leakage or the battery pack
exploding. Because the electrolyte may cause loss of eyesight, if it comes in contact with your eyes, immediately wash
the affected area with clean water, and consult a doctor as soon as possible. When you change the battery
pack, be sure to turn the AQ7280 off, and detach the AC adapter power supply from the AQ7280. Failure to do so may
lead to electric shock or other accidents. Do not throw the battery pack into fire or heat it. Such actions are dangerous
as they may cause the battery pack to explode or the electrolyte to be sprayed about. Follow the additional handling
precautions that are included in the battery pack’s user’s manual.
Laser Beam
Do not look directly or indirectly into the laser beam or at a specular reflection of the beam without protective equipment.
Do not aim the laser beam at the eye. The laser beam may cause blindness or damage to your eyes. Attach the cover
to the optical connector when it is not in use. Turn the power OFF when you are cleaning the AQ7280.
Connecting Optical Fiber Cables
Use optical fiber cable connectors that conform to the included universal adapter (the universal adapter specified by the
suffix code).
Apply Correct Signals to the Optical Connectors
Do not apply light that is –5 dBm or greater to the OTDR unit (AQ7282 series) optical connectors (PORT1 and PORT2).
Doing so may damage the OTDR unit.
Do not apply light that is +10 dBm or greater to the OPM module (AQ2780, AQ2780V). Do not apply light that is +27
dBm or greater to the high power OPM module (AQ2781, AQ2781V). Doing so may damage the OPM module.
Do Not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere
Do not use the instruments in the presence of flammable gasses or vapors. Doing so is extremely dangerous.
Do Not Remove the Covers or Disassemble or Alter the Instrument
Only qualified YOKOGAWA personnel may remove the covers and disassemble or alter the instrument.
Installation Position
Handling the stand without firmly supporting the instrument can be dangerous. Only handle the stand when the
instrument is on a stable surface.
