WARNING sign until the indicated conditions are fully understood and
met.
Safety Symbols
The apparatus will be marked with this symbol when it is necessary
for the user to refer to the instruction manual in order to protect the
apparatus against damage.

Input Power Limitations
W A R N I N G
Applicable to Agilent 81628B only -
Operation above 34 dBm (2.51 W) is at your own risk.
Operation at a continuous optical power, or an average optical power,
greater than 34 dBm causes, in the specified operating temperature
range, the metal parts (connector adapters, screws) to become hotter
than the required limit (55°C) of the safety standard IEC 61010-1.
