After unpacking the equipment, inspect each source holder in the
shipment to ensure that the operating handle is in the OFF position. If

immediately and secure it. Note: This applies to only some source
holders.
Caution: You must be familiar with radiation safety practices in
accordance with your U.S. Agreement State, U.S. NRC, or other nuclear
regulatory body before unpacking the equipment.

instructions if:
