3.1. UNPACKING THE T803 ANALYZER

CAUTION
GENERAL SAFETY HAZARD
To avoid personal injury, always use two persons to lift and carry the T803.
CAUTION!
Do not operate this instrument until removing dust plugs from SAMPLE and EXHAUST
ports on the rear panel!
Note Teledyne API recommends that you store shipping containers/materials
for future use if/when the instrument should be returned to the factory
for repair and/or calibration service. See Warranty section in this manual
and shipping procedures on our Website at http://www.teledyne-api.com
under Customer Support > Return Authorization.
Verify that there is no apparent external shipping damage. If damage has
occurred, please advise the shipper first, then Teledyne API. Keep the shipping
container/packaging intact for the shipper’s examination.
Included with your analyzer is a printed record of the final performance
characterization performed on your instrument at the factory.
CAUTION – AVOID WARRANTY INVALIDATION
Printed circuit assemblies (PCAs) are sensitive to electro-static discharges too small to
be felt by the human nervous system. Damage resulting from failure to use ESD
protection when working with electronic assemblies will void the instrument warranty.
See A Primer on Electro-Static Discharge in this manual for more information on preventing
ESD damage.
