2.2 Unpacking the Contents
Unpacking the Model GS-800 Calibrated Imaging Densitometer shipping container:
Warning
:
The Model GS-800 Calibrated Imaging Densitometer weighs approximately 45.8
lbs. (20.8 kg). To avoid personal injury, two people may be needed to lift the Densitometer
out of the shipping container. Lifting the unit just by the lid may cause damage to the
instrument
1.
Carefully lift the Model GS-800 Calibrated Imaging Densitometer out of the shipping
carton and place it on a stable, dry, flat surface. The chassis of the Model GS-800
Calibrated Imaging Densitometer attempts to conform to any uneven surface. This
may result in a poor-quality scan.
2.
Remove the plastic wrapping and the packing materials from the Densitometer.
3.
The Model GS-800 Calibrated Imaging Densitometer should be located close to the
computer system to which it will be connected. Select a flat, dry surface that
provides adequate ventilation on all sides to prevent overheating.
