Storing the instrument
The instrument can be placed in short-term storage (for several weeks) without any
special preparations. For longer-term storage (longer than a month), we recommend
that you remove the batteries from the case and clean and dry the instrument exter-
ior with a soft damp (not dripping) cloth and mild detergent if needed. The battery
storage temperature range is -20 to 60 °C, <80% relative humidity. The instrument
storage temperature is -45 to 50 °C, <85% relative humidity.
Shipping the instrument
The instrument is delivered with custom-designed foam pad (part number 6578-296)
that protects the air inlet and outlet while it is packaged. Keep the foam pad so you
can use it to ship the instrument, should the need arise. Cover the air inlet and out-
let with the blue caps that were provided with the instrument or scotch tape to keep
dust from the filter. Position the foam pad over the inlet and outlet, wrap the instru-
ment with plastic wrap, place it in a large plastic bag, and then tape it tightly so that
the foam will stay in place. Place the wrapped instrument in a box with foam pack-
ing peanuts.
Figure 2-3. The foam pad protects the inlet, outlet, and network cable connector during
shipping. Keep the pad in the event that you need to ship the instrument.
Important note on shipping lithium ion batteries
Many new LI-COR instruments are powered by lithium ion batteries; LI-COR
recommends that you
do not
ship these batteries, unless you need them examined.
Effective April 1, 2016, new shipping requirements were issued regarding the ship-
ment of lithium ion batteries. There are three separate shipping scenarios described
below: 1) Batteries are packaged with the original equipment, 2) Additional batteries
