*Do not touch the removed electrode rod. In particular, be careful not to bend the tip of the electrode rod as it is an important part of fusing.
2. Wipe off any dirt on the two objective lenses with a cotton swab soaked in alcohol. Use new cotton swabs for cleaning the lens at each location and do not reuse them. At this time, wipe the optical fiber and the observation LED to clean it.

4. After cleaning the objective lens, attach the fusing electrode rod to the fusion splicer.
Do not touch the electrode rod when installing.Also, be careful not to hit or bend the tip of the electrode rod.
5. Turn on the splicer power.
6. After closing the windshield, enter the maintenance menu from the main menu on the monitor screen and perform a screen stain inspection.The OK screen will be displayed during the inspection, and the objective lens cleaning will be completed.
