Chapter 1 BEFORE USING THE INSTRUMENT

Cleaning the Optical Connector
The end of the optical connector must be kept clean at all times. Collection of dust or dirt
on the end may damage the optical adapter of the instrument, hindering correct
measurement.
This section explains how to clean the end of the optical connector by taking a FC
connector as an example.
1. Place the end of the optical connector perpendicular to the cleaner’s cleaning
surface.
2. With the end of the optical connector pushed against the cleaning surface, turn
it approximately one turn.
3. Then, slide the end of the optical connector.
4. Repeat steps 2 to 3 to clean the end of the optical connector.
When cleaning the optical connector, make sure that it is pushed against the
cleaner firmly. If not, the optical connector may not be cleaned sufficiently.
