Cleaning Fixed Connectors

Regular cleaning of connectors will help maintain optimum performance.

Do not try to disassemble the unit. Doing so would break the connector.

To clean fixed connectors:

1. Fold a lint-free wiping cloth in four to form a square.

2. Moisten the center of the lint-free wiping cloth with only one drop of

isopropyl alcohol.

3. Gently wipe the connector threads three times with the folded and

moistened section of the wiping cloth.

4. With a dry lint-free wiping cloth, gently wipe the same surfaces three

times with a rotating movement.

5. Throw out the wiping cloths after one use.

IMPORTANT

Alcohol may leave traces if used abundantly. Avoid contact between

the tip of the bottle and the wiping cloth, and do not use bottles

that distribute too much alcohol at a time.

IMPORTANT

Isopropyl alcohol takes approximately ten seconds to evaporate.

Since isopropyl alcohol is not absolutely pure, evaporation will

leave microscopic residue. Make sure you dry the surfaces before

evaporation occurs.
