Unpacking the Laser System 

The laser system has been carefully packaged for shipment.  If the container arrives damaged in 
any way, please contact the shipper's agent to be present for the unpacking.  Inspect each unit as 
it is unpacked, looking for dents, scratches, or other damage.  If damage is evident, immediately 
file a claim against the carrier and notify the manufacturer.   
 
It is recommended that the shipping container be kept for possible further shipping purposes, 
should the unit require repair or maintenance services.  If a damage claim has been filed, the 
container will be needed to prove shipping damage. 
 
The laser system is a turnkey system, designed so that a field service engineer is not required to 
get the system up and operating properly.  The system has undergone extensive testing to verify 
its conformance to the specifications prior to delivery. 
 
Before operating the laser however, it is important to fully understand its main features and 
controls. 
 

CAUTION:  Do not power up the system before thoroughly reading the 
system description. Use of the controls or adjustments, or performance of 
procedures other than those specified in this user’s manual my result in 
hazardous radiation exposure, laser system damage or result in voiding 
the warranty. Please refrain from connection the main power until you 
make sure the power switch is in the OFF position. 

 
System Inventory 

The miniSystem Laser system consists of the following items. Verify that all listed items are 
present in the shipping container. If there are any shortages or discrepancies, contact Quantum 
Composers immediately.
