PREPARATION FOR SHIPPING 

For shipping purposes the instrument should be packed into its original carton, the latter 
providing the recommended degree of protection during transit. 

To prepare the instrument for shipping, proceed as follows: 

1. 

Turn the instrument off and remove any connections to the Gas In and Gas Out 
ports and any external transmitters connected to it. 

2. 

If installed, remove the instrument from its carrying case. 

3. 

Pack the instrument in its original case (1) as shown in Figure 8.1.

  

NOTE:  Any  accessories  should  be  packed  in  the  box  (4).  Unless  

returning  them  for  repair,  it  is  not  necessary  to  return  any  external  

transmitters or the battery charger.  

4. 

Create a packing list detailing all equipment contained in the box, place it inside 

the box and seal the box.
