Make sure that there are no desiccant beads on the surface where the filter is
mounted. Install the paper filter, then the screen, then the retainer ring. Hand-
tighten the retainer ring with the refill tool. Replace the desiccant cartridge
immediately to minimize the amount of time that the desiccant cartridge is
removed from the laser housing.
