optical fiber installed in the transmitter optical connector. Power to the transmitter should be turned-
off or preferably, disconnected whenever the optical connector cover is opened and there is no
installed fiber (as when the fiber connector is being installed or removed from the transmitter
connector).

PRECAUTIONS
Failure to comply with these general safety precautions and with the specific precautions
described elsewhere in this manual violates the safety standards of the design, manufacture, and
intended use of the device. Olson Technology Inc. assumes no liability for the customer's failure to
comply with these precautions.
Do not operate the transmitter outside of its ratings. Doing so may result in unsatisfactory
performance, receiver failure, shortened receiver life span, or a safety hazard.
Do not attempt to modify or service any part of a transmitter module. Doing so voids the warranty.
Contact Olson and request an RMA number and return the unit to Olson Technology Inc. for service
and repair.
Do not restrict airflow in front of or behind the chassis. The transmitter should be operated in an
ambient environment between 0 and 50ºC (32 and 122ºF).
Store the module away from corrosive materials, at a temperature between -40 and +70ºC (-40 and
+158ºF), and with no more than 85% humidity, non-condensing.
