instrument.

Initial Visual Inspection
After you remove your eQCM 10M from its shipping carton, you should check it for any signs of shipping
damage. If any damage is noted, please notify Gamry Instruments, Inc. and the shipping carrier immediately.
Save the shipping container for possible inspection by the carrier.
Warning
The “reinforced insulation” that keeps the operator from accessing the “hazardous live”
voltages in the instrument can be rendered ineffective if the eQCM 10M is damaged in
shipment. Do not operate damaged apparatus until a qualified service technician has
verified its safety. Tag a damaged eQCM 10M to indicate that it could be a safety hazard.
Warning
If the eQCM 10M is taken from a cold location (for example outdoors in winter
conditions) to a warm humid location, water vapor could condense on the cold surfaces
inside the instrument, possibly creating a hazardous condition. Before connecting power
to a “cold” eQCM 10M, allow at least one hour for the instrument to warm at room
temperature.
