6 Cleaning Procedures
Safety Precautions
The following Cleaning Instructions contain some general
safety precautions, which must be observed during all phases
of cleaning. Consult your specific optical device manuals or
guides for full information on safety matters.
Please try, whenever possible, to use physically contacting
connectors, and dry connections. Clean the connectors, inter-
faces, and bushings carefully after use.
If you are unsure of the correct cleaning procedure for your
optical device, we recommend that you first try cleaning a
dummy or test device.
Agilent Technologies assumes no liability for the customer's
failure to comply with these requirements.
NOTE
Please follow the following safety rules.
Do not remove instrument covers when operating.
Ensure that the instrument is switched off throughout the
cleaning procedures.
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures
other than those specified may result in hazardous radiation
exposure.
Make sure that you disable all sources when you are cleaning
any optical interfaces.
Under no circumstances look into the end of an optical device
attached to optical outputs when the device is operational. The
laser radiation is not visible to the human eye, but it can seri-
ously damage your eyesight.
To prevent electrical shock, disconnect the instrument from
the mains before cleaning. Use a dry cloth, or one slightly
dampened with water, to clean the external case parts. Do not
attempt to clean internally.
Do not install parts or perform any unauthorized modification
to optical devices.
Refer servicing only to qualified and authorized personnel.
