1 General Inspection

Please check the instrument according to the following steps.

1. Inspect the shipping container.

Keep the shipping container and packaging material until the contents of the shipment

have been completely checked and the instrument has passed both electrical and

mechanical tests. It is always good practice to save the shipping container and

packaging for use when returning the power supply to Teledyne LeCroy for service or

calibration.

The consigner or carrier will be responsible for damage to the instrument resulting from

shipping. Teledyne LeCroy will not provide free maintenance or replacement in this

instance.

2. Inspect the instrument.

If the instrument is found to be damaged, defective or fails in electrical or mechanical

tests, please contact the Teledyne LeCroy service department immediately.

3. Check the accessories.

Please check that you have received the accessories: Calibration Kit, Utility Kit, Power

Cord, USB cable. If the accessories are incomplete or damaged, please contact

Teledyne LeCroy immediately.
