Use, Maintenance, and Care of the Devices
Handling and Storage
4. Pull the connectors straight apart without twisting, rocking, or bending
either of the connectors.
Handling and Storage
— Do install the protective end caps and store the devices in the foam-lined
storage case when not in use.
— Do keep connectors and airlines clean.
— Do not store connectors and airlines loose in a box, or in a desk or bench
drawer. This is the most common cause of connector damage during
storage.
— 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.
If disconnecting an airline and the airline center conductor does not
disengage from the device center conductor, gently pull the center
conductors apart and then push the airline center conductor back inside
the outer conductor of the airline.
