If the instrument
is
to be shipped to a Hewlett-Packard sales office for
service or repair, attach a tag with the owner's name and address, the
model number, the complete serial number, and a description of the
service required. In any correspondence, refer to the instrument by
model number and serial number.
Remember, before you repack an HP 16500A, you must insert a yellow
shipping disk into both the front and rear disk drives. These disks help
protect the disk drives against possible damage during shipping.
If the original packing material
is
not available or
is
unserviceable,
material identical to factory packaging
is
available through
Hewlett-Packard sales offices. Always mark the container FRAGILE
to ensure careful handling.
If you use other packaging, follow these instructions:
1. Wrap the instrument in a heavy paper or plastic.
2. Use a strong shipping container. A double-wall carton made of
350-lb test material
is
adequate.
3. Protect the control panel with a piece of cardboard.
4. Put a layer of shock-absorbing material, 70-to-100 mm (3-t0-4 in.)
thick, around the instrument to cushion the instrument and
prevent any movement inside the container.
5. Seal the shipping container securely.
6. Mark the container FRAGILE to ensure careful handling.
