Setting Up the Oscilloscope
initial Inspection
Initial Inspection
Inspect the shipping container for damage. If the shipping container or
cushioning material is damaged, keep it until the contents of the shipment
are checked. Check the shipment for completeness and check the
instrument electrically and mechanically.
If the contents are incomplete, if there is mechanical damage, or if the
oscilloscope does not power up correctly, notify the Hewlett-Packard Sales
Office. Keep the shipping materials for the carrier’s inspection. The
Hewlett-Packard Sales Office will arrange for repair or replacement at HP’s
option without waiting for a claim settlement.
Operating Environment
The environmental conditions that you need to be aware of when operating,
storing, or shipping the oscilloscope are listed in chapter 16 under “General
Characteristics." Because condensation in the instrument cabinet can cause
poor operation or malfunction, make sure you avoid temperature extremes
which can cause condensation.
If you are shipping the oscilloscope to a Hewlett-Packard Service Center for
service or repair, attach a tag to the oscilloscope that identifies the owner,
address of the owner, model number, serial number, and a description of the
service work that is required.
If the original packaging material is no longer available, identical packing
material is available through your local Hewlett-Packard Sales office. Mark
the container FRAGILE to ensure careful handling. In any correspondence,
refer to the oscilloscope by the model and serial number.
