At this point you should have chosen Manual mode for the
splicing mode (see p.14), and a splicing program. To continue
our example, we will assume you have chosen Program 03
for titanium fiber splicing. This will give you the adjacent
screen, with “FSU 995 FA MANUAL MODE” in the mode field
and the program name (“TITAN SM + SM”) and program
number (P03) in the message field.
The splicer will then display a series of messages in the
message field that tell you that it is ready.

Roughly align fibers

In order to roughly align the fibers with respect to each other,
you should alternately press the and buttons for both
the right and left fibers until the outer edges of the fibers line
up.
When you think the fibers are lined up, you can start bringing
the fibers towards each other by alternatively pressing the
and buttons for each of the fibers. Your goal is a gap
equivalent to half a diameter of a fiber, centered horizontally
in the monitor (see illustration below).
You should then press the VIEW button to ensure that the
gap is also correct from the other camera angle.

After rough alignment the situation should be as follows:
the outer edges of the fibers line up, and the gap between
their end-faces is the width of half a fiber diameter, and
centered on the monitor.
