USER’S MANUAL

Operating Environment

In order for the unit to meet the warranted specifications, the operating environment must meet the following conditions for altitude, temperature, humidity, and voltage.

Altitude

The unit can be operated at an altitude up to 2000m.

Temperature

The unit can be operated in the temperature range of 0 to 40 °C.

Humidity

The unit can be operated in environments with up to 95% humidity (0 to 40 °C). Do not expose it to any environmental conditions or changes to environmental conditions that can cause condensation to form inside the unit.

Voltage

The main supply voltage fluctuations are not exceeding ±10% of the nominal voltage.

Warning

•Do not use the unit outdoors.

•To prevent potential fire or shock hazard, do not expose the unit to any source of excessive moisture.

Storing and Shipping

To maintain optimum operating reliability, do not store the unit in locations where the temperature falls below -40 °C or rises above 70 °C. Avoid any environmental condition that can result in internal condensation. Ensure that these temperature and humidity requirements can also be met whenever the unit is shipped.

Claims and Repackaging

Immediately inform JDS Uniphase and, if necessary, the carrier, if

•The contents of the shipment are incomplete

•The unit or any of its components are damaged or defective

•The unit does not pass the initial inspection

In the event of carrier responsibility, JDS Uniphase will allow for the repair or replacement of the unit while a claim against the carrier is being processed.

Returning Shipments to JDS Uniphase

JDS Uniphase only accepts returns for which an approved Return Material Authorization (RMA) has been issued by JDS Uniphase sales personnel. This number must be obtained prior to shipping any material to JDS Uniphase. The owner’s name and address, the model number and full serial number of the unit, the RMA number, the original JDSU sales order number, the
