Do not use compressed air or aerosol air to clean a fiber optic
connector.
To clean a fiber optic connector using a cartridge cleaner, do the following:
1. With one hand, hold the cartridge cleaner and push the lever on the
cleaning cartridge in the direction of the arrow to expose the cleaning
surface.
2. Place the ferrule tip on the exposed cleaning surface and rub the
ferrule in a downward direction, as shown in Figure 44.
