1 Making sure all the connectors are clean, set up the instrument as shown in
Figure 96 if you are using an External Source,
Figure 96 Termination Calibration - External source

2 Terminate the cable so that there are no reflections coming from the end.
Tip: You can do this by wrapping the fiber five times around the shaft of a
screwdriver (or some similar object with a diameter of between 5mm and
7mm).
3 Press [Menu] to access the menu.
4 Move to <Terminated calibration> and press Enter. The instrument measures
the power reflected by the cable, and sets the [Para] values used by the Return
Loss monitor’s power sensor and monitor diode.
Tip: An alternative steps 3 and 4 is to select the Return Loss module’s
[Details] screen, then press [TermCal].
