Main unit, radio (353): Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Saab 9-3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

IMPORTANT: The optic cables should be handled carefully so as not to distort the signal.

It is extremely important that the two leads in the connector are not confused.
The cables cannot be spliced.
The lead must not be bent to form a curve with a radius of less than 25 mm.
The lead must not be subjected to temperatures greater than 85 °C.
The lead ends should be kept free from dirt.
The lead must not be subjected to blows that could cause the transparent plastic to whiten, thereby damping light strength. This could cause disruptions in communication.
The lead should not be stretched across a sharp edge, which would cause increased damping of the signal.

WARNING: The red visible light is of laser class 1. Do not look directly into the optic fibre or the control module connector at close range. At a distance of less than 20 mm from your eyes to the light source, your eyes could be damaged.
