NOTE
If a connector appears defective, clean and inspect it again. Damaged
connectors should be discarded or sent for repair. Try to determine the cause
of damage before connecting a new, undamaged connector in the same
configuration.
Cleaning connectors
1. Inspect the connectors for dirt or debris.
2. Blow off any accumulated dust, using clean (filtered) compressed air.
3. Dip the cleaning swab in isopropyl alcohol.
Do not pour alcohol directly on the parts to be cleaned, and do not allow
alcohol to wash down inside the connectors. An excessive flow of alcohol
may carry residue into the interior of the connectors.
4. Gently wipe all connecting surfaces with the end of the cleaning swab.
5. Dry with compressed air.
6. Inspect the connectors again, and repeat the cleaning procedure if
necessary.
