Power Source＊1) The first heating after turning on the power can be longer than the usual heating time.
＊2) The number of splicing and heating cycles the machine can produce using a fully charged brand new battery at room temperature of 20ºC, semi-auto mode for splicing 125μm cladding
fiber and regular mode for heating. Depending on the condition of the battery and operation environment, the number can vary.
