2003-2005 Saab 9-3 (9440) 4D/5D; 2004-2005 Saab 9-3 (9440) CVNotice:
Handle the fiber optic cables with care or the signal may be distorted.
^ It is very important that the two leads in the connector are not confused with one another.
^ Do not splice the cables.
^ Do not bend the cable in a radius smaller than 25 mm (1 in).
^ Do not expose the cable to temperatures exceeding 185°F (85°C).
^ Keep the cable ends free from dirt and grime.
^ Do not expose the cable to impact as this may cause the transparent plastic to whiten, thereby reducing the intensity of the light and causing possible communication interruptions.
^ The cable should not lie against any sharp edges as this may cause increased signal attenuation.
