damaged by misuse.
damaged by misuse.
When handling the fiber optic cables always roll and unroll them as if they were on a spool. DO
NOT roll them around your arm like a rope or extension cord. Also, these cables do not twist,
therefore laying the roll on the ground and pulling the cable off will cause the cables to tangle.

Connecting the Fiber Optics
Always push in and remove the cable by holding the strain relief jacket or the plastic end
connector. Pulling on the cable will loosen the crimp and damage the cable. After connecting the
fiber optic cables to the antenna electronic boxes, loosely loop the cable and tape off some slack
onto the handles. Most breaks occur right at the cable ends when they are accidentally pulled.

Batteries
Replace batteries before they go dead. Nothing is more annoying than losing data in the middle
of a traverse. Only operate continuously for about 3 hours before replacing unless you have
new, well charged batteries. Carry plenty of spares.
