Operating the Unit

Warning
To avoid the risk of injury or death, always observe the following precautions
before initializing the equipment:
•
Never look into the end of an optical cable connected to an optical output
device that is operating. Laser radiation is invisible and direct exposure can
severely injure the human eye. For more information, see the user's manual
of the laser source in use.
•
If using a voltage-reducing autotransformer to power the system, ensure that
the common terminal connects to the earthed pole of the power source.
•
Connect the power cord only to a power outlet equipped with a protective
earth contact. Never connect to an extension cord that is not equipped with
this feature.
•
Turning off the power switch does not always block the externally supplied
power to the connector at the output of the unit.
•
To prevent potential fire or shock hazard, do not expose the unit to any
source of excessive moisture.
•
Do not use the unit outdoors.
