2. Moisten a lint-free swab with isopropyl alcohol. Do not saturate the
swab.
3. Minimize the wicking of the alcohol into the connector structure.
4. Clean the mating plane surfaces and threads.
5. Allow alcohol to evaporate, and then use a low-pressure air source to
blow surfaces clean.
6. Make sure no particles or residue remains.
