Unpacking the device

Packing material

We suggest that you keep the original packing material.

It is designed for reuse (unless it is damaged during
shipping). Using the original packing material ensures
that the device is properly protected during shipping.

Checking the package contents

Your level meter is shipped with the following accessories:

• 1 test adapter
• 4 dry batteries AA
• Carrying bag
• Operating manual

Checking for shipping damage

After you unpack the device, check to see if it has been
damaged during shipping. This is particularly likely if the
packaging is visibly damaged. If there is damage, do not
attempt to operate the device. Doing so can cause
further damage. In case of damage, please contact your
local Viavi Sales Company. Addresses can be found at

www.viavisolutions.com.

Recovery following storage/shipping

Condensation can occur if a device that is stored or
shipped at a low temperature is brought into a warm
room. To prevent damage, wait until no more
condensation is visible on the surface of the device
before powering it up. Do not operate the device until it
has reached its specified temperature range and wait
until it has cooled down if the device was stored at a high
temperature (see

„Ambient temperature”, page 28

).
