Before connecting the fibre cables, follow the procedures below to ensure proper
performance. It is important that these procedures be performed with care:
1.  
Remove fibre optic protective caps.
 
2.  
Do not bend the fibre optic cable in a tight radius (<4 cm) as this may cause cable damage
and interrupt transmission.
 
3.  
Using high-grade alcohol and lint-free cotton cleaning swabs, clean the end of the fibre
optic cable that will be inserted in the optical connectors on the donor interface box.
 
4.  
Blow the end dry with clean, dry compressed air.
 
5.  
Vigorously blow out the laser receptacle with clean, dry compressed air to remove any
particulate matter.
 
6.  
Connect the fibre optic cables by inserting the cable end into the laser receptacle and
aligning the key (on the cable end) with the keyed slot.
 
7.  
Do not use any index matching gels or fluids of any kind in these connectors. Gels are
intended for laboratory use and attract dirt in the field.
