Certification Information
North America Regulatory Statement
This unit was certified by an agency approved in both Canada and the
United States of America. It has been evaluated according to applicable
North American approved standards for product safety for use in Canada
and the United States.
Electronic test and measurement equipment is exempt from FCC part 15,
subpart B compliance in the United States of America and from ICES-003
compliance in Canada. However, EXFO Inc. makes reasonable efforts to
ensure compliance to the applicable standards.
The limits set by these standards are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in
a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the user guide, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely
to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to
correct the interference at his own expense.
Modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the
user's authority to operate the equipment.
viiiFTB-2 and FTB-2 Pro
Certification Information
Your unit comes with an internal wireless module and antenna for which
the following information applies:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits
for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device
may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS
standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1)
this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference, including interference that may cause
undesired operation of the device.
This device complies with the US/Canada portable RF exposure limit
set forth for an uncontrolled environment and is safe for intended
operation as described in this user documentation. The further RF
exposure reduction can be achieved if the device can be kept as far as
possible from the user’s body.
This device does not contain any user-serviceable components. Any
unauthorized product changes or modifications will invalidate
warranty and all applicable regulatory certifications and approvals.
Note: You will only be able to work with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth if you have
purchased the corresponding option.

RedThere is a major hardware problem
with the unit. Contact EXFO.

LEDStatusMeaning
GreenAll batteries are fully charged.
Green, blinking At least one battery is charging.
Yellow, blinking At least one module would be using
more power than what is available
from batteries. Do not disconnect AC
power while this module is in use.
A blinking yellow LED takes
precedence over a blinking green one,

so when AC power is connected, even
if the LED is blinking yellow, batteries
are probably charging (depending on
conditions).

of the unit if no action is taken to
reduce the temperature.

FTB-2 Pro22
Possible to switch from an external power source to battery power
or vice versa without affecting operation.
The battery recharges automatically when the unit is connected to
an external power source (with the AC adapter/charger).
Note: When the ambient temperature is below 0 °C (32 °F) or when it reaches or
exceeds about 40 °C, the batteries can either charge more slowly than
usual, or not charge at all, depending on the internal temperature of your
unit.

Automatic Fan Speed Management
Automatic Fan Speed Management
Your unit will determine the most appropriate fan speed, depending on the
power requirements and the type of modules you are using.
Fan speed is always determined to cool down the most
heat-generating modules.
Make sure to use protective covers over empty slots of your unit to
avoid overheating.
