2.1 UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
The E2730A and its accessories are shipped cushioned between molded-in-
place expanded plastic pads in a double-walled carton. After unpacking the
equipment, retain the shipping container and packing material until the
equipment has been thoroughly inspected and it is ensured that reshipment
is not necessary. Perform the following initial inspection:
1. Carefully inspect the outside of the shipping container for
discoloring, stains, charring, or other signs of exposure to excessive
heat, moisture or liquid chemicals. Check for any physical damage
to the shipping container such as dents, snags, rips, crushed areas, or
similar signs of excessive shock or careless handling.
2. Remove all equipment and accessories from the shipping container.
If any items are missing, contact your Agilent Technologies
Customer Engineer.
3. Carefully inspect the equipment looking for dents, scratches,
damaged or loose controls, indicators, or connectors, or any other
signs of physical abuse or careless handling.
If damage is found, forward an immediate request to the delivering carrier
to perform an inspection and prepare a concealed-damage report. Do not
destroy any packing material until it has been examined by an agent of the
carrier. Concurrently, report the nature and extent of damage to your
Customer Engineeer through your local Agilent Technologies Service
Center. Under U.S. shipping regulations, damage for claims must be
collected by the consignee; do not return the equipment to Agilent
Technologies until a claim for damages has been established.
