- Initiate the test by pressing the [Start Test] button (or equivalent).
- Analyze the results displayed on the screen, which typically include trace data, event points, and loss measurements.
- Save or export test results as needed using the [Menu] and [Save] options.
- Power off the device when testing is complete.
Safety Precautions
Always follow standard safety procedures when working with fiber optic equipment:
- Never look directly into the fiber optic port, as laser light can cause eye damage. Use appropriate laser safety eyewear.
- Handle fiber optic connectors with care to avoid contamination or damage.
- Ensure the device is used within its specified operating temperature range.
- Do not expose the device to water or excessive moisture.
- Refer to the full safety manual for comprehensive guidelines.
