Wavelength/Backlight Button

Note: the Wavelength button only functions when the MFP is in standard power

meter mode. In Fiber ID mode the Wavelength button si disabled, as 1550 nm is

the only wavelength available in the Fiber ID test mode.

In the standard power meter mode the Wavelength/Backlight provides

two functions as follows:

– Press to cycle through the calibrated wavelengths.

– Press and hold to toggle the Backlight On or Off.

dB/dBm/µW Button provides two functions:

– Press to toggle test readings between insertion loss in dB and power in dBm.

– Press and hold to view power in µW.

Ref/Set Button works in both Fiber ID mode and standard power meter

mode. It provides two functions:

– Press to display the stored reference level for the currently selected

wavelength or multiple wavelengths.

– Press and hold until [HELD SET] is displayed to store the currently measured

level or multiple levels as the new reference levels. Once the new reference is

set, an MFP switches to the dB measurement mode.
