Turn on the splicer by pressing the ON/OFF button in the
upper left-hand corner. (Remember that the splicer will turn
off automatically when you open the safety shield after splic-
ing.)
The splicer always starts in Automode, and thus will read
“FSU 995 FA AUTO MODE” in the mode field. In the mes-
sage field you will get a message telling you that it is calibrat-
ing parameters. Once calibration is completed, the splicer
will tell you to “INSERT FIBERS” and to “CLOSE SAFETY
SHIELD.”

Place the fibers into the V-grooves until they are visible in the
monitor, and then close the clamps. Make sure to avoid
sliding the fibers along the V-grooves, but rather position
them over the V-grooves and then tilt them down into place
(see picture below).
Proper (and not so proper) insertion of the fibers:
