For instructions on how to use the optical connector cleaner, see the
documentation for the optical connector cleaner.
The fiber optic cable uses a laser beam. (Laser beams are colorless
and transparent, and invisible to the eye.) Never look directly into the
optical transceiver.
Do not use an air duster that contains flammable gas near a flame.
Doing so could result in fire.
Use an air duster specially designed for cleaning optical connectors.
Using another type of air duster could cause the ferrule tip to become
dirty.
Keep the nozzle or container of the air duster from coming into contact
with the ferrule tip. Contact could result in a malfunction.
For instructions on how to use the air duster, see the documentation
for the air duster.
