Claims and Repackaging
If physical damage is evident or if the instrument does not meet 
specification when received, notify the carrier and the nearest Agilent 
Technologies Sales/Service Office. The Agilent Technologies 
Sales/Service Office will arrange for repair or replacement of the unit 
without waiting for settlement of the claim against the carrier.
Return Shipments to Agilent Technologies 
If the instrument is to be shipped to a Agilent Technologies Sales/Service 
Office, attach a tag showing owner, return address, model number and full 
serial number and the type of service required.
The original shipping carton and packing material may be reusable, but the 
Agilent Technologies Sales/Service Office will provide information and 
recommendation on materials to be used if the original packing is no 
longer available or reusable. General instructions for repackaging are as 
follows:
• Wrap instrument in heavy paper or plastic.
• Use strong shipping container. A double wall carton made of 350-pound test 
material is adequate.
• Use enough shock absorbing material (3 to 4 inch layer) around all sides of the 
instrument to provide a firm cushion and prevent movement inside container. 
Protect control panel with cardboard.
• Seal shipping container securely.
• Mark shipping container FRAGILE to encourage careful handling.
• In any correspondence, refer to instrument by model number and serial 
number.
