    AFETY NFORMATION ARNING SYMBOLS ON THE UNIT AFETY NFORMATION Warning symbols on the unit Warning symbols indicating a potential hazard In all cases where the unit is labeled with a warning symbol, the operating manual must be consulted to learn more about the nature of the potential hazard and any action that must be taken.

  • Page 11: Laser Safety

    AFETY NFORMATION ASER SAFETY Laser safety WARNING Dangerous laser radiation Laser radiation can cause irreparable damage to eyes and skin. The maximum permitted power for the ORL-85 means that the optical input signals can reach hazard level. Bear this in mind when using the ORL-85. In particular, the instrument is equipped with a through channel that transmits all the optical radiation from the input to the output without attenuation, even when the ORL-85 is switched off.
