CONNECTOR. Laser infrared radiation is present when fiber-optic connector is
open and optical interface is installed. Laser infrared radiation is not visible to
naked eye or with laser safety glasses.

fiber-optic connectors, observe the following precautions:
-Do not use cleaning swabs more than once.
-Do not use alcohol or any type of liquid to clean fiber-optic connectors.
-Do not use canned air to clean fiber-optic connectors. Canned air propellant
leaves residue that clouds fiber-optic connectors.
-Do not touch polished optical surface of fiber-optic connector. Oil from skin
can degrade performance of fiber-optic connector and attract dust particles.
-Always use protective covers to protect disconnected fiber-optic connectors.
When protective covers are not in use, store them in a clean container. Do not
store protective covers in clothes pocket.
