Inspection and Shipping
Inspection
Mechanical Check If external damage to the shipping carton is evident, the carrier’s agent
should be present when the adapter is unpacked. Check the adapter for
external damage. If damage is evident, refer to Claims, below, for
recommended claim procedure. If the shipping carton is not damaged, check
the packaging material for signs of stress that indicate rough handling in
transit. If the adapter appears undamaged, perform the electrical check.
Electrical Check The electrical performance of the adapter should be checked as soon as
possible after receipt against the specifications shown in Table1. If the
adapter does not perform within the specifications, see the following
paragraphs for recommended claim procedure and repackaging the
instrument.
Claims If physical damage is evident, or if the adapter does not meet electrical
specifications when received, notify the carrier and the nearest Agilent
Technologies office
Shipping
Using Original Packaging The same containers and material used in factory packaging can be obtained
through Agilent offices.
If the adapter is being returned to Agilent Technologies for servicing, attach
a tag indicating the type of service required, return address, and model
number. Also, mark the container FRAGILE to assure careful handling
Using Other Packaging The following general instructions should be used for repackaging with
commercially available materials:
1. Wrap the adapter in heavy paper or plastic. (If shipping to a Agilent
Technologies office or service center, attach a tag indicating the type of
service required, return address, and model number.)
2. Use a strong shipping container. A double-wall carton made of
350-pound test material is adequate.
