Instructions on how to protect the LLG header and how to properly take care of the LLG
• Use the protective cap for both ends when the LLG is not connected to the devices (Figure 15 & 16)
• The light guide is a fine, high quality optical instrument. The useful life can be prolonged by following these simple guidelines
• Avoid stretching the light guide, forming configurations, involving sharp angels or kinks, or contact with sharp or pointed
objects. Light guide breakage will result in diminished light output (Figure 16).
• Any inadvertent cut or puncture to the outer wall will render the light guide unsafe for use and must be taken out of service
immediately.
