How to clean connector
interfaces
CAUTION Be careful when using pipe-cleaners, as the core and the
bristles of the pipe-cleaner are hard and can damage the
interface.
Do not use pipe-cleaners on optical head adapters, as the
hard core of normal pipe cleaners can damage the bottom
of an adapter.
Preferred Procedure
Use the following procedure on most occasions.
1 Clean the interface by pushing and pulling a new, dry
pipe-cleaner into the opening. Rotate the pipe-cleaner
slowly as you do this.
2 Then clean the interface by rubbing a new, dry cotton-
swab over the surface using a small circular movement.
3 Blow away any remaining lint with compressed air.
Procedure for Stubborn Dirt
Use this procedure particularly when there is greasy dirt
on the interface:
1 Moisten a new pipe-cleaner with isopropyl alcohol.
2 Clean the interface by pushing and pulling the pipe-
cleaner into the opening. Rotate the pipe-cleaner
slowly as you do this.
3 Moisten a new cotton-swab with isopropyl alcohol.
4 Clean the interface by rubbing the cotton-swab over the
surface using a small circular movement.
