MAX-700

To use your MAX-700 as a source:
1.
Clean the connectors properly (see Cleaning and Connecting Optical

Fibers on page 42).

2. Connect one end of the fiber under test to the OTDR port.

If your unit is equipped with two OTDR ports, ensure that you connect
the fiber to the appropriate port (singlemode, singlemode live, or
multimode), depending on the wavelength you intend to use.

3. From the main window, press the

button.

4. Select the wavelength you want to use.

Note: If only one wavelength is available, it is selected by default.
