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.

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.

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.
For more information, see Electrical Safety Information on page 16.

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.
IMPORTANT
Fan speed is always determined to cool down the most heat-generating modules.
CAUTION
Make sure to use protective covers over empty slots of your unit to avoid overheating.

Your instrument is a Class 2 laser product in compliance with standards IEC 60825-1: 2007 and 21 CFR 1040.10, except for deviations pursuant to Laser Notice No. 50, dated June 24, 2007. Laser radiation is emitted at the output port.
The following label(s) indicate that the product contains a Class 2 source:
Affixed to back panel of unit.
The VFL laser is active when the |
symbol is displayed in the power |
meter and VFL application. |
|
The modules that you use with your unit may have different laser classes. Refer to the user guide or the online help of the different modules for the exact information.
Units without Built-In VFL
If your unit is not equipped with a VFL, the laser class of your unit depends on the modules that you use. Refer to the user guide or the online help of the different modules for the exact information.

Electrical Safety Information
If you need to ensure that the unit is completely turned off, disconnect the power cable and remove the batteries.
WARNING
Insert the power cable plug into a power outlet with a protective ground contact. Do not use an extension cord without a protective conductor.
Before turning on the unit, connect all grounding terminals and extension cords to a protective ground via a ground socket. Any interruption of the protective grounding is a potential shock hazard and may cause personal injury. Whenever the ground protection is impaired, do not use the unit and secure it against any accidental operation.
Do not tamper with the protective ground terminal.

Electrical Safety Information
WARNING
Use the external power supply indoors only.
Position the unit so that the air can circulate freely around it.
Operation of any electrical instrument around flammable gases or fumes constitutes a major safety hazard.
To avoid electrical shock, do not operate the unit if any part of the outer surface (covers, panels, etc.) is damaged.
Only authorized personnel should carry out adjustments, maintenance or repair of opened units under voltage. A person qualified in first aid must also be present. Do not replace any components while the power cable and batteries are connected.
Unless otherwise specified, all interfaces are intended for connection to Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) circuits only.
Capacitors inside the unit may be charged even if the unit has been disconnected from its electrical supply.
WARNING
Use only the listed and certified AC adapter/charger provided by EXFO with your unit. It provides reinforced insulation between primary and secondary, and is suitably rated for the country where the unit is sold.
Use only accessories (such as the batteries and fiber inspection probe) designed for your unit and approved by EXFO. For a complete list of accessories available for your unit, refer to its technical specifications.
When you use the unit outdoors, ensure that it is protected from liquids, dust, direct sunlight, precipitation, and full wind pressure.
