4 Pack the oscilloscope in foam or other shock absorbing material and place it in a strong shipping container. You can use the original shipping materials or order materials from an Keysight Technologies Sales Office. If neither are available, place 8 to 10 cm (3 to 4 inches) of shock-absorbing material around the oscilloscope and place it in a box that does not allow movement during shipping.
