2 - 2 . 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 and panels).
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 instrument has been checked mechanically and electrically. Procedures for
checking electrical performance are given in Section IV, Performance Tests. If the contents are
incomplete, if there is mechanical damage or defect, or if the instrument does not pass the
electrical performance test, notify the nearest Hewlett-Packard office. If the shipping container
is damaged, or the cushioning material shows signs of stress, notify the carrier as well as the
Hewlett-Packard office. Keep the shipping materials for the carrier's inspection.
