If reshipment of the instrument is necessary,
please use the original shipping container. If the
original shipping container is not available, be
sure that adequate protection is provided to
prevent damage during shipment. We
recommend that the instrument be surrounded by
at least three inches of shock-absorbing material
on all sides of the container.
Remove the Tester from its container and place
it on a test bench.

are noted on the rear panel of the instrument. Do
not connect the instrument to a different voltage
source.
