delivery receipt.

Handling
CAUTION
DO NOT drop the communications gateway or subject
any of its parts to undue stress during installation.
Only remove the communications gateway from
the carton when you are ready for installation. The
communications gateway weighs about 25 lbs.
(11.4 kg); follow proper lifting techniques to avoid
minor injury.
Storage
TripSaver II Communications Gateways are shipped
on pallets banded with plastic wrap. This packaging
is designed to protect the communications gateway
from freight damage. This packaging is not suitable for
outdoor storage because it can pool water and damage
the communications gateway. After receipt, TripSaverII
Communications Gateways should be stored indoors
in their shipping packaging. Storing communications
gateways outdoors in the shipping packaging will void
the warranty.
Returning
If for any reason the communications gateway is to be
returned, place it in the original shipping carton to prevent
damage during shipping. If additional shipping cartons
are required, contact the nearest S&C Sales Ofce, S&C
Authorized Distributor, or S&C Headquarters.
