4.1 EQUIPMENT DELIVERY AND HANDLING

Prior to shipment, a transmitter is fully tested and inspected to ensure proper operation. It is then
packaged for shipment. Most accessories are shipped separately. The contents of a box are listed on a
packing slip.

4.1.1 Receipt of Shipment

Each carton should be inspected at the time of delivery for possible external damage. Any visible damage
should be recorded immediately on the carrier's copy of the delivery slip.
Each carton should be unpacked carefully and its contents checked against the enclosed packing list. At
the same time, each item should be inspected for any hidden damage that may or may not have been
accompanied by exterior carton damage.
If it is found that some items have been damaged or are missing, notify Siemens immediately and provide
full details. In addition, damage must be reported to the carrier with a request for their on-site inspection
of the damaged item and its shipping carton.

4.1.2 Storage

If a transmitter is to be stored for a period prior to installation, review the environmental requirements in
Section 9.3 Specifications.
