Use, Maintenance, and Care of the Devices
Handling and Storage
Handling and Storage
• Use the plastic end caps and store the calibration devices in the foam-lined storage case
when not in use.
• Never store connectors loose in a box, in a desk, or in a 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.
