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 Table 1. 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.
