1.5 Cleaning, Storing and Transporting the Analyzer
1.5.2 Storing
Store the spectrum analyzer in an area which has a temperature from -20°C to +60°C. If you plan to store
the spectrum analyzer for a long period (more than 90 days), put the spectrum analyzer in a vapor-barrier
bag with a drying agent and store the spectrum analyzer in a dust-free location out of direct sunlight.
1.5.3 Transporting
When you ship the spectrum analyzer, use the original container and packing material. If the original pack-
aging is not available, pack the spectrum analyzer using the following guidelines:
• To allow for cushioning, use a corrugated cardboard container with inner dimensions that are at least
15 centimeters more than those of the spectrum analyzer.
• Surround the spectrum analyzer with plastic sheeting to protect the finish.
• Cushion the spectrum analyzer on all sides with packing material or plastic foam.
• Seal the container with shipping tape or a heavy-duty, industrial stapler.
If you are shipping the spectrum analyzer to a service center for service or repair, attach a tag to the spec-
trum analyzer that shows the following information:
• Owner and address
• Name of a contact person at your location
• Serial number of the spectrum analyzer (located on the rear panel)
• Description of the service requested
