Initial Inspection

WARNING To avoid hazardous electrical shock, do not perform electrical tests

when there are signs of shipping damage to any portion of the

outer enclosure (covers, panels, meters).

Inspect the shipping container for damage. If the shipping container or cushioning

material is damaged, it should be kept until the contents of the shipment have been

checked for completeness and the elements in your system have been checked both

mechanically and electrically. Procedures for checking the electrical operation are given

startingonpage11-1ofthismanual.

If any element in your system appears damaged or is defective, contact the nearest Agilent

service office. Agilent will arrange for repair or replacement of the equipment without

waiting for a claim settlement. Retain the shipping materials for the carrier to inspect.

Undamaged shipping materials should be kept. Original Agilent or equivalent shipping

materials are required for system or module re-shipment, as substandard packaging may

result in damage. Refer to Returning Instruments for Service on page 1-9 for information

on re-shipment.
