General Safety Considerations Getting Started with the Agilent 81600B Tunable Laser Source Family
Agilent 81600B Tunable Laser Source Family, Fourth Edition 13
Initial Inspection
Inspect the shipping container for damage. If there is damage to the 
container or cushioning, keep them until you have checked the contents of 
the shipment for completeness and verified the instrument both 
mechanically and electrically.
The Performance Tests give procedures for checking the operation of the 
instrument. If the contents are incomplete, mechanical damage or defect 
is apparent, or if an instrument does not pass the operator’s checks, notify 
the nearest Agilent Technologies Sales/Service Office.
Line Power Requirements
An Agilent 81600B Tunable Laser Source Family module operates when 
installed in the Agilent 8164A/B Lightwave Measurement System.
Operating Environment
The safety information in the Agilent 8164A/B Lightwave Multimeter (and 
the Agilent 8163A/B Lightwave Measurement System, & Agilent 8166A/B 
Lightwave Multichannel System) User’s Guide summarizes the operating 
ranges for the Agilent 81600B Tunable Laser Source Family modules. In 
order for these modules to meet specifications, the operating environment 
must be within the limits specified for your mainframe.
To avoid hazardous electrical shock, do not perform electrical 
tests when there are signs of shipping damage to any portion of 
the outer enclosure (covers, panels, etc.).
You MUST return instruments with malfunctioning laser modules 
to an Agilent Technologies Sales/Service Center for repair and 
calibration.
