Class 1 Laser Product Safety Warning

The EdgeFLEX 600 is a Class 1 Laser Product. This product complies with 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 except for deviations pursuant to Laser Notice 50, dated July 26, 2001, as well as European requirements EN 60825-1 and EN 60825-2. Operational wavelengths are in the range 830-1620 nm.

This symbol on the front panel indicates the presence of invisible laser light. Under normal operation, Class 1 lasers are considered eye-safe and not harmful. Optical interfaces do not need to be shut down when connecting or disconnecting optical fibre. However, care should always be exercised to minimize exposure when working with lasers. Avoid looking into the transceiver or an unconnected fibre with the naked eye or through the use of viewing optics.

When an interface is not connected with a fibre, replace the dust plug to help protect the transceiver optics and reduce the chance of accidental exposure to laser light.

Only Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) optical transceivers approved for use by Carrier Access should be used within this system. Use of non-approved transceiver devices may result in an increased risk of exposure to invisible laser light or an inoperative optical port.

CAUTION! USE OF CONTROLS OR ADJUSTMENTS OR PERFORMANCE OF PROCEDURES OTHER THAN THOSE SPECIFIED HEREIN MAY RESULT IN HAZARDOUS RADIATION EXPOSURE.

CAUTION! THE USE OF OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS WITH THIS PRODUCT WILL INCREASE EYE HAZARD.
