CAUTION

Do not attempt to connect several units of the CR300 in a series.

Caution in use of optical fiber cables

•Do not bend an optical fiber cable to a steep angle, for this could damage the cable. Be specially careful when mounting the unit in a rack, etc. When an optical cable is stored in the form of a loop, the loop should have a diameter larger than 15 cm (6 in.).

•An optical cable should be inserted deep into the socket. Avoid incomplete connection.

•Use optical cables with a length of no more than 3 m (10 feet).

•Be careful not to leave dust on or scratch the optical fiber cable plugs. If the plug is dusty, wipe with a soft cloth before connection.

•When the optical fiber cables are not connected, protect the OPTICAL sockets on the rear of the unit against dust by inserting dust protective caps into them.

Optical sockets are delicate!!

•When the OPTICAL sockets

are used, pull out the dust	Cap
protective caps from them. Be
sure to insert them again when
the OPTICAL sockets are not to
be used.
• Retain the dust protective caps	Pull out.
carefully.
