Maintenance | 15
 Use the cleaning tape shipped with the HI-6105 kit for cleaning the end
face of the connector. Softly press the connector face on the exposed
cleaning tape and move in a figure eight motion. After three
figure eights inspect with a microscope and repeat if necessary.
 The mating connectors such as bulkhead feedthrough, transmit, and
receive ports can be cleaned with canned dry air. Fiber optic
connectors should be cleaned every time they are mated and
unmated.
H ANDLING I NSTRUCTIONS
Never touch the end face of the connector.
Connectors not in use should be covered over the ferrule by a plastic dust cap or
boot. These boots will protect the polished ferrule end from damage but not
contamination. It is important to note that inside the dust cap there is a sticky
residue that is a by-product of making the dust cap. This residue will remain on
the ferrule end after the cap is removed. Always clean fiber connectors and
mating connectors prior to installation.
