How to clean connector 
adapters
CAUTION Some adapters have an anti-reflection coating on the back 
to reduce back reflection. This coating is extremely 
sensitive to solvents and mechanical abrasion. Extra care 
is needed when cleaning these adapters.
Preferred Procedure
Use the following procedure on most occasions.
1 Clean the adapter by rubbing a new, dry cotton-swab 
over the surface using a small circular movement.
2 Blow away any remaining lint with compressed air.
Procedure for Stubborn Dirt
Use this procedure particularly when there is greasy dirt 
on the adapter:
1 Moisten a new cotton-swab with isopropyl alcohol.
2 Clean the adapter by rubbing the cotton-swab over the 
surface using a small circular movement.
3 Take a new, dry soft-tissue and remove the alcohol, 
dissolved sediment and dust, by rubbing gently over the 
surface using a small circular movement.
4 Blow away any remaining lint with compressed air.
