Operating the Unit
Warning
To avoid the risk of injury or death, always observe the following precautions
before initializing the unit:
•
When using a voltage-reducing autotransformer to power the unit, ensure
that the common terminal connects to the earthed pole of the power source.
•
Use only the type of power cord supplied with the unit.
•
Connect the power cord only to a power outlet equipped with a protective
earth contact. Never connect to an extension cord that is not equipped with
this feature.
•
Do not interrupt the protective earth grounding. Any such action can lead to
a potential shock hazard that can result in serious personal injury.
•
Do not operate the unit if an interruption to the protective grounding is
suspected. In this case, ensure that the unit remains inoperative.
•
Willfully interrupting the protective earth connection is prohibited.
•
Never look into the end of an optical cable connected to an optical output
device that is operating. Laser radiation is invisible, and direct exposure can
severely injure the human eye. For more information, see the user’s manual
of the laser source in use.
•
Turning off the power to the device does not always block the externally
supplied radiation to the connector at the output of the unit.
•
Do not use the unit outdoors.
•
To prevent potential fire or shock hazard, do not expose the unit to any
source of excessive moisture.
•
Use only the type of fuse specified by the manufacturer as appropriate for
this unit. Do not use repaired fuses, and avoid any situations that can short-
circuit the fuse.
•
Do not operate the unit when its covers or panels have been removed.
