Shipping the Signal Generator
Containers and materials identical to those used in factory packaging are available
through Agilent Technologies. If the instrument is being returned to Agilent Technologies
for servicing, attach a tag indicating the type of service required, return address, model
number, and full serial number. Also, mark the container FRAGILE to assure careful
handling. In any correspondence, refer to the instrument by model number and full serial
number.
If you are using other packaging, follow the guidelines below.
1. Wrap the instrument in heavy paper or plastic.
2. Use a strong shipping container. A double-wall carton made of 2.4 MPa (350 psi) test
material is adequate.
3. Use enough shock-absorbing material (75 to 100 millimeter layer; 3 to 4 inches) around
all sides of the instrument to provide a firm cushion and to prevent movement in the
container. Protect the front panel with cardboard.
4. Seal the shipping container securely.
5. Mark the shipping container FRAGILE to assure careful handling.
