- Push the collet back over the O-ring until it stops, then release it. Verify that the collet has located into the first corrugation. DO NOT TWIST. Clean off face of foam with alcohol wipe.
- To achieve optimum Return Loss, pull outer body to remove coring bit from the tool. Place bit over inner conductor and push forward until bit contacts face of foam.
