Use, Maintenance, and Care of the Devices
Handling and Storage
Handling and Storage
• Do install the protective end caps and store the devices in the foam-lined storage case when not in use.
• Do keep connectors and airlines clean.
• Do not store connectors and airlines loose in a box, or in a desk or bench drawer. This is the most
common cause of connector damage during storage.
• 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.
