Unpacking the Instrument

Remove the instrument from its packaging and check the equipment for completeness using the
delivery note and the accessory lists for the various items.
First, pull off the polyethylene protection pads from the instrument's rear feet and then carefully
remove the pads from the instrument handles at the front.
Pull off the corrugated cardboard cover that protects the rear of the instrument.
Carefully unthread the corrugated cardboard cover at the front that protects the instrument handles
and remove it.
Check the instrument for any damage. If there is damage, immediately contact the carrier who
delivered the instrument. In this case, make sure not to discard the box and packing material.
It is advisable to keep the original packing material in order to prevent control elements and
connectors from being damaged in case the instrument is to be transported or shipped at a later
date.
