Safety Instructions
Admonishments
Important safety instructions are in this manual. In addition to the instructions on the
following page, there are other safety instructions you must follow. These instructions
involve lasers, lightwave optical cable and connectors, and precautions when handling
circuit packs to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge. This manual also contain
admonishments in the form of DANGERS, WARNINGS, and CAUTIONS which must be
followed at all times.
These admonishments have the following definitions:
DANGER indicates the presence of a hazard that will cause death or severe per-
sonal injury if the hazard is not avoided.
WARNING indicates the presence of a hazard that can cause death or severe
personal injury if the hazard is not avoided.
CAUTION indicates the presence of a hazard that will or can cause minor per-
sonal injury or property damage if the hazard is not avoided. The caution is also
used for equipment damage, loss of software, or service interruption.
The alert symbol is used on product labels and in this manual to alert the user to
important operating and maintenance instructions.
Lightwave Safety
A Lucent lightwave digital transmission system and associated optical test sets use
semiconductor laser transmitters. The lasers emit lightwaves, at or near infrared
wavelengths, into lightguide cables. This light is at the red end of the visible spectrum.
Although, at present, the transmitter power levels are below those known to cause
injury to the eye; for example, from a direct inadvertent exposure to the end of an
energized fiber, direct exposure at close distances should be avoided.

WARNING:
Never view any unterminated optical connector with optical instruments other than
indirect image converting devices such as the FIND-R-SCOPE
*
, since viewing
optics tend to collimate the energy from an optical connector and, hence, increase
the potential risk for injury.
