Tips for Preventing Damage 1
Use proper lifting techniques
• Lift the instrument by the handles when transporting.
• Avoid picking up the instrument with your hand over the front panel. If
the instrument slips, damage may occur to the front panel connectors.
• Use a cart or two persons to help move any heavy instrument.
Use proper packaging for transport
• Instrument damage can result from using packaging materials other
than those specified. Never use styrene pellets in any shape as
packaging materials. They do not adequately cushion the equipment
and can cause equipment damage by generating static electricity.
• If possible, retain the original packaging for re-use when shipping the
instrument.
Check your instrument settings
• Review the measurement procedures and settings needed for a
particular application prior to making any measurements (refer to the
user guide).
• Depending on the type of repair, the instrument settings may have
been reset to the factory defaults.
