1.2   Unpacking 

When you receive your power supply, carefully inspect the container for any damage 

which might have occurred in shipping. Severe damage to the container might indicate 

damage to the power supply itself. If you suspect damage to the unit, immediately file a 

claim with the carrier in accordance with their instructions before contacting Bio-Rad 

Laboratories. 

After unpacking the PowerPac Universal, remove the plastic film from the translucent 

green top case. The plastic film might leave a residue. If so, clean with a soft, damp 

cloth. Also remove the die-cut plastic film covering the display window.
