1 Carefully align the connector and test port to prevent the fiber end from touching
the outside of the port and scratching the end face.
NOTE
If your connector features a keying mechanism, ensure that it is correctly fit-
ted into the test port's insert.
2 Push the connector to firmly place it inside ensuring physical end face contact.
NOTE
If your connector features a screw-on sleeve, tighten the connector to firmly
maintain the fiber in place. Do not over tighten as this will damage the fiber
and the test port.
WARNING
Never force the connector ferrule or insert it with an angle into the test port
adapter. Mechanical stress may permanently damage the ceramic sleeve of
the adapter or the end face of the connector. A new adapter purchase only
will get the unit back to operation
