How to clean connector adapters
1. Moisten a new cotton-swab with isopropyl alcohol.
2. Clean the connector by rubbing the cotton-swab over the surface
using a small circular movement.
3. Take a new, dry soft-tissue and remove the alcohol, dissolved
sediment and dust, by rubbing gently over the surface using a
small circular movement.
4. Blow away any remaining lint with compressed air.
An Alternative Procedure
A better, more gentle, but more expensive cleaning procedure is to
use an ultrasonic bath with isopropyl alcohol.
1. Hold the tip of the connector in the bath for at least three
minutes.
2. Take a new, dry soft-tissue and remove the alcohol, dissolved
sediment and dust, by rubbing gently over the surface using a
small circular movement.
