Unpacking
The SpectraMax GEMINI EM is packed in a specially designed carton. Please
retain the carton and the packing materials. If the unit should need to be
returned for repair, you must use the original packing materials and carton
for shipping. If the carton has been damaged in transit, it is particularly
important that you
retain it for inspection by the carrier in case there has also been
damage to the instrument.
The SpectraMax GEMINI EM weighs approximately 35
pounds (16 kg) and should be lifted with care. It is recommended that
two persons lift the instrument together, taking the proper precau-
tions to avoid injury.
After examining the carton, place it on a fl at surface in the upright position.
Open the top of the box and lift the SpectraMax GEMINI EM, along with the
packing materials around the ends, up and out of the shipping box. Remove
the packing material from both ends of the instrument and set the instrument
down carefully. The packing list that accompanies the instrument describes all
components that should have been placed in the packing carton. Make sure
all these items are present before proceeding.
