1 INTRODUCTION
OLS-34/-35/-36/-37/-38
Optical Laser Sources
The Test Sets are specially designed for high performance
testing of all systems, i.e. broadband, PONs, and Gigabit
Ethernet.
Battery operation from two AA batteries and the robust, shockproof design provide long operating time in the field even under
tough conditions. AC line operation via a separate AC adapter
and the USB interface ensure ease of use in the laboratory or
production environment.

LASER SAFETY
Laser safety
WARNING
Dangerous laser radiation
Laser radiation can cause irreparable damage to the eyes
and skin.
This device is a Class 1 laser product according to DIN EN
60825-1:2003 and EN 60825-1:2007.
Observe the following instructions when working with this
device and laser systems in general:
► Connect all optical fibers before switching on the radiation
source.
► Switch off the laser source before disconnecting the optical
fibers.
► Never look directly into the output of a laser source or into
an optical fiber connected to it.
► Always cover unused ports.
► Observe the normal precautions for working with laser
radiation and follow any local regulations.
Battery operation
WARNING
Explosion danger
Short-circuiting the batteries can result in overheating,
explosion or ignition of the batteries and their surroundings.
10 OLS-34/-35/-36/-37/-38
► Never short-circuit the battery contacts by touching both
contacts simultaneously with an electrically conductive
object.
► Only use AA size dry batteries or rechargeable batteries.
► Take care to insert the batteries correctly.
2 SAFETY INFORMATION
VENTILATION
WARNING
Explosion danger
Dry batteries must not be recharged.
► The OLS-34/-35/-36/-37/-38 does not have a recharge
function for rechargeable batteries, so there is no danger
when using dry batteries.
► Read the manual of the external charging device.
Ventilation
CAUTION
Insufficient ventilation
Insufficient ventilation can damage the instrument or
adversely affect its function and safety.
► Ensure adequate ventilation when operating the instrument.

3 GETTING STARTED
UNPACKING THE DEVICE
3 GETTING STARTED
Unpacking the device
Packing material
We suggest that you keep the original packing material. It is
designed for reuse (unless it is damaged during shipping). Using
the original packing material ensures that the device is properly
protected during shipping.
Checking the package contents
Your device is shipped with the following accessories:
• 2 dry batteries AA
• Operating manual
•Belt bag
Checking for shipping damage
After you unpack the device, check to se e if it has been damaged
during shipping. This is particularly likely if the packaging is
visibly damaged. If there is damage, do not attempt to operate
the device. Doing so can cause further damage. In case of
damage, please contact your local Viavi Sales Company.
Addresses can be found at www.viavisolutions.com.
Recovery following storage/shipping
Condensation can occur if a device that is stored or shipped at a
low temperature is brought into a warm room. To prevent
damage, wait until no more condensation is visible on the
surface of the device before powering it up. Do not operate the
device until it has reached its specified temperature range and
wait until it has cooled down if the device was stored at a high
temperature (see “Ambient temperature” on page 29).
