IQS-1700

Transportation

Transportation

Maintain a temperature range within specifications when transporting the 
unit. Transportation damage can occur from improper handling. The 
following steps are recommended to minimize the possibility of damage:

Pack the unit in its original packing material when shipping.

Avoid high humidity or large temperature fluctuations.

Keep the unit out of direct sunlight.

Avoid unnecessary shocks and vibrations.
