6.3.5 Crystal Snatcher

Use the crystal snatcher, supplied with the sensor, as follows:

Insert crystal snatcher into ceramic retainer (1) and apply a small amount of
pressure. This locks the retainer to the snatcher and allows the retainer to be
pulled straight out (2). See

Figure 6-6

Reinsert the retainer into the holder after the crystal has been replaced.

Release the crystal snatcher with a slight side-to-side motion.
