5.3.2 Removal of U.FL connector

Care should be taken when mating or un-mating the U.FL plug from its receptacle as

they are designed (by the manufacturer Hirose) for a maximum of 30 cycles (in practice

probably anything more than five cycles is too much). The outer shell of the mating plug

can bend or deform easily and not make good electrical contact, thus degrading RF

performance - sometimes significantly.
