1. 

Remove the equipment from the shipping carton carefully. Save the shipping 
carton and all packing material until proper operation of the equipment is 
confirmed. Immediately notify the carrier if there is any visible damage to the 
carton or its contents. Failure to do so may limit your ability to obtain 
compensation for damage. 

 

NOTE:

 The inner chamber of your instrument has been treated with an oil-based 

protectant. Please clean the chamber thoroughly with alcohol before filling to avoid 
the contamination of paraffin.
