Warnings and safety precautions
This product is designed for fusing glass optical fibers for
communication purposes and should not be used for fusing
other substances. Incorrect handling may result in electric
shock, fire and personal injury. For the safety of the user,
please read and observe the following carefully.
Warning
Do not use power adapters, batteries, power cords, etc.
other than those specified for this product. Do not use
voltages other than those specified for this product as this
may cause a fire or electric shock.
Do not allow liquids such as water or metallic substances to
enter the interior of the machine, as this may cause fire,
electric shock or machine failure. In the event of water or
metallic substances entering the machine, stop using it,
unplug it from the mains and contact our maintenance
department.
Do not use the fusion splicer in a flammable or explosive
environment, as this may lead to fire or explosion.
Do not touch the electrodes when the fusion splicer is in
operation to avoid being injured by the high voltage
generated by the electrode discharge. Also when replacing
the electrodes the power must be switched off and the power
cord unplugged.
If you find that the machine is smoking, smells or makes
unusual noises, please stop using it immediately and unplug
it from the power supply and contact our maintenance
service. If you continue to use the machine, it may cause fire,
electric shock, machine failure and other accidents.
It is forbidden to dismantle or modify the fusing machine,
battery or power adapter to avoid heat, rupture or fire.
Please use the battery in strict accordance with the
4
operating instructions, as incorrect use of the battery may
result in heat, rupture, explosion, fire or personal injury
Caution
Do not use and store the fusion splicer in an environment
with high temperatures and humidity as this may cause
damage to the equipment.
Do not touch the heat shrink tube during or just after
heating, as the heat shrink tube is very hot and may cause
burns.
Do not touch the fusion splicer, AC power cord and AC plug
when your hands are wet as this may cause electric shock.
Do not use any chemicals other than alcohol to clean
microscope lenses, V-grooves, displays etc. as this may
result in blurred images, smudges etc. and may even cause
corrosion and damage to the equipment.
When used in dusty environments, appropriate dust control
measures must be taken to avoid large amounts of dust
entering the inside of the machine and causing it to
malfunction.
Do not subject the fusion splicer to strong vibrations and
shocks, as this may cause damage to the machine. Use a
special carrying case for transporting or storing the fusion
splicer.
Use the power adapter supplied as standard, if you use
your own adapter, the fusion splicer may not work properly.
Please check the battery level before using the fusion
splicer. If the battery level is low or there is an under voltage
alarm, please recharge the battery pack in time. (When the
battery is fully charged but still has a very short operating
time, please replace the battery with the specified type in
time).

indicator light goes out; at this time, you need to open
the heater cover immediately and remove the optical
fiber. (Note: Do not touch the heated heat shrink
protection sleeve with your hands to prevent burning)
(5) Check the heat shrinkage effect. If it is qualified, put

Chapter 4 Password Control Function (Optional)
4.1 Management options interface
Enter the management interface through "Management
Options" under the "System Settings" interface. Functions
such as the validity period of the fusion splicer, the number of
valid times of use, and the power-on password can be
controlled through the management options.
38
1. "Validity period verification": When the validity period
verification function is enabled, no matter whether the
power-on mandatory password verification function is
enabled or not, if the system detects that the set validity
period has expired, the system will pop up the
password login interface, and the key composed of red
numbers will appear on the password login interface. It
is necessary to inform the manager of the fusion splicer
of the key to obtain the temporary power-on password.
After entering the correct password, the system will
automatically activate the previous password. When
the validity period verification function is turned off, the
system will not detect the validity period of the fusion
splicer, and consider the fusion splicer to be
permanently valid.
2. "Set validity period": Through this option, you can set
the validity period of the fusion splicer. Use the left and
right buttons to adjust the field of validity period; press
the up and down buttons to adjust the validity period,
and press and hold the up and down buttons
continuously to realize quick adjustment. Press the
menu key to save the validity period.
3. "Valid times verification": When the valid times
verification function is turned on, no matter whether the
power-on forced verification password function is
turned on or not, if the system detects that the number
of valid times exceeds the set number, the system will
pop up the password login interface, and a password
composed of red numbers will appear on the password
login interface. key, the user needs to inform the
manager of the fusion splicer of the key to obtain the
temporary power-on password for this time, and the
system will automatically activate the previous
39
password after the input is correct. When the valid
times verification function is turned off, the system no
longer limits the number of uses.
4. "Valid times": the number of welding times the
machine can use.
5. When "Validity Verification" and "Validity Times" are
enabled at the same time, "Validity Verification" is used
as the default verification method. When "Validity
Verification" and "Validity Times" are turned off at the
same time, the use rights of the machine are no longer
restricted.
6. "Set system time": Through this option, you can set
the system time of the fusion splicer. Use the left and
right buttons to adjust the time field; use the up and
down buttons to adjust the time, and press and hold the
up and down buttons continuously for quick adjustment.
Press the menu key to save the time.
7. "Set power-on password": Through this option, you
can set the login password for the fusion splicer. Press
the up, down, left, and right keys to adjust the character
to be input; press the menu key to use the selected
character as the current input. Press the reset key to
cancel the current input password; press the start key
to save the current input password and prompt that the
setting is successful. Press and hold the key
continuously for quick adjustments.
8. "Power-on password verification": When this function
is enabled, the user will be required to enter a
password every time the device is turned on. If
password authentication is not required for booting, this
function can be turned off.
9. "Set Admin Password": Through this option, you can
set the admin password. Press the up, down, left, and
40
right keys to adjust the character to be input; press the
menu key to use the selected character as the current
input. Press the reset key to cancel the current input
password; press the start key to save the current input
password and prompt that the setting is successful.
Press and hold the key continuously for quick
adjustments.
41
the temporary power-on password. After the input is
correct, the system will automatically Password before
activation. The key will not appear on this interface if
the validity period or the number of valid times has not
been exceeded.
4. If the validity period verification function is turned on,
the validity period of the fusion splicer will be displayed
on this interface. If the validity period verification
function is turned off, the validity period of the fusion
splicer will not be displayed on this interface.If the valid
times verification function is turned on, the remaining
usage times will be displayed on this interface. If the
valid times verification function is turned off, the
remaining usage times will not be displayed on this
interface.
