General Safety Considerations
If any of the following conditions exist, or are even suspected, do not use the
instrument until safe operation can be verified by trained service personnel:
• Visible damage
• Severe transport stress
• Prolonged storage under adverse conditions
• Failure to perform intended measurements or functions
If necessary, return the instrument to ILX Lightwave, or authorized local ILX
Lightwave distributor, for service or repair to ensure that safety features are
maintained (see the contact information on page vii). All instruments returned to
ILX Lightwave are required to have a Return Authorization Number assigned by
an official representative of ILX Lightwave Corporation. See Returning an
Instrument on page v for more information.
