USE
To Connect:
1.
On one connector, retract the coupling sleeve by
turning the coupling nut counterclockwise until the
sleeve and nut disengage.
2.
On the other connector, fully extend the coupling
sleeve by turning the coupling nut clockwise. To
engage coupling sleeve and coupling nut when the
sleeve is fully retracted, press back lightly on the
nut while turning it clockwise.
3.
Push the connectors firmly together, and thread the
coupling nut of the connector with retracted sleeve
over the extended sleeve.
4.
Close the gap between coupling nuts with the nut
on the extended-sleeve connector.
CARE

2. IMPORTANT: Part the connectors carefully to pre¬
vent striking the inner conductor contact.
2.
Protect the contacting surfaces when the connector
is not in use by leaving the coupling sleeve
extended.
3.
Use lintless material and/or firm-bristled brush such
as a tooth brush for cleaning. If a cleaning fluid is
needed use isopropyl alcohol. IMPORTANT: Do
not use aromatic or chlorinated hydrocarbons, es¬
ters, ethers, terpenes, higher alcohols, ketones, or
ether-alcohols such as benzene, toluene, turpentine,
dioxane, gasoline, cellosolve acetate, or carbon
tetrachloride. Keep exposure of the connector parts
to both the cleaning fluid and its vapors as brief as
possible.
