3. Environment and Precautions
WARNING:
Always use your device in conjunction with properly grounded power source.
CAUTION:
Do not expose the device to a high moisture environment.
CAUTION:
The amplifier has protection against a low optical input signal and the unit will shut
down if the input signal is removed. We recommend the amplifier not be used with-
out an optical input signal. OT will not be responsible for the damage sustained by
the device resulting from a lack of input signal.
CAUTION:
Avoid unnecessary back reflections into the amplifier otherwise the device may be
destroyed. Use caution when connecting the amplifier to an external fiber line.
Strong non-linear effects may turn a significant portion of optical power into the
amplifier.
CAUTION:
Wait at least 2 minutes after switching on the device before enabling maximum
emission.
CAUTION:
Always clean optical connectors before connecting them to the amplifier. Use only
the type of connectors noted in the specification. Use special high precision adapt-
ers for connecting the amplifier to an input source, otherwise maximum polarization
extinction ratio may not be achieved. OT will not be responsible for any damage
sustained by the device as a result of using dirty or incompatible connectors.
