Laser Safety
Introduction
Each product described in this guide does one of the following:
• Contains an infrared laser that transmits intensity-modulated light and emits
invisible radiation
• Connects to an infrared laser and can pass intensity-modulated light, which is
considered to be invisible radiation
Warning: Radiation
WARNING:
•
Avoid personal injury! Use of controls, adjustments, or procedures other
than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
•
Avoid personal injury! The laser light source on this product emits invisible
laser radiation. Avoid direct exposure to the laser light source.
• Do not apply power to the products if the fiber is unmated or unterminated.
• Do not stare into an unmated fiber or at any mirror-like surface that could reflect
light that is emitted from an unterminated fiber.
• Do not view an activated fiber with optical instruments.
Warning: Fiber Chips
WARNING:
Avoid personal injury! Wear safety glasses and use extreme caution when you
handle the glass chips that are inside the cladding of the optical fiber. X-ray
cannot detect these glass chips if they become embedded in the skin. Place the
chips immediately in a small waste container and discard.
Modifications
Do not make modifications to these products without the approval of
Scientific-Atlanta.
Whenever modifications that may affect hazard levels are made to the optical fiber
communication system, the person or organization that performs such modification
must reassess hazard levels. They must do this by conducting tests and
measurements wherever appropriate for the ensurance of compliance. If there is a
change in the hazard level, they must re-label the product.
