    Inspecting the Shipment MaxPac systems are packaged to withstand the roughest of treatment during shipping. Any boxes, foam core padding, and anti-static bags should be stored safely away in case you need to ship the system for any reason in the future. Inspect the box the system arrived in. If there is any unusual damage to the box, make note of the damage on the delivery form and contact MaxVision support (see Appendix D for more details).

  • Page 9: Unpacking The System

    1) Place the cardboard packing box containing the Pelican case and MaxPac system on the floor. Remove the packing slip from the outside of the box and save it for later use as discussed below.
