Handling And Storage - Agilent Technologies 85050B User's And Service Manual

CAUTION Do not twist one connector out of the other (like removing a light bulb). Turn the
connector nut, not the device body. Major damage to the center conductor can occur if
the device body is twisted.

Handling and Storage

• Install the protective end caps and store the calibration devices in the foam-lined storage case
when not in use.
• Never store connectors loose in a box, or in a desk or bench drawer. This is the most common
cause of connector damage during storage.
• Keep connectors clean.
• Do not touch mating plane surfaces. Natural skin oils and microscopic particles of dirt are easily
transferred to a connector interface and are very difficult to remove.
• Do not set connectors contact-end down on a hard surface. The plating and the mating plane
surfaces can be damaged if the interface comes in contact with any hard surface.
