How to clean connector adapters
Preferred Procedure
Use the following procedure on most occasions.
1 Clean the adapter by rubbing a new, dry cotton-swab over the surface using a
small circular movement.
2 Blow away any remaining lint with compressed air.
Procedure for Stubborn Dirt
Use this procedure particularly when there is greasy dirt on the adapter:
1 Moisten a new cotton-swab with isopropyl alcohol.
2 Clean the adapter by rubbing the cotton-swab over the surface using a small
circular movement.
3 Take a new, dry soft-tissue and remove the alcohol, dissolved sediment and
dust, by rubbing gently over the surface using a small circular movement.
4 Blow away any remaining lint with compressed air.
Some adapters have an anti-reflection coating on the back to reduce
back reflection. This coating is extremely sensitive to solvents and
mechanical abrasion. Extra care is needed when cleaning these
adapters.
