2·20. REPACKAGING FOR SHIPMENT
2·2 1 . Original Packaging
If at all possible, repackage the instrument in the original container, which is specially
designed to accommodate the weight of the 3585A. Containers and materials equivalent to
those used in factory packaging are available through -hp- Sales and Service Offices. Place
the instrument in the container with appropriate (3 to 4 inches) packing material and seal
well with strong tape or metal bands. Also mark the container "FRAGILE" to insure
careful handling.
NOTE
If the instrument is to be returned to -hp- for service, attach a tag
indicating the type of service required. Include any symptoms or
details that may be of help to the service technician. Also include
your return address, the instrument 's model number and full serial
number. In any correspondence, identify the instrument by model
number and full serial number.
2·22. Other Packaging
The following general instructions should be used for repackaging with commerically
available materials:
a. Wrap the instrument in heavy paper or plastic. (If shipping to a Hewlett-Packard of
fice or service center, attached a tag indicating the type of service required, return address,
model number, and full serial number.)
b . Use a strong shipping container. A doublewall carton made of 250-pound test material
is adequate.
c. Use enough shock-absorbing material (3-to-4 inch layer) around all sides of the instru
ment to provide firm cushion and prevent movement inside the container. Protect the con
trol panel with cardboard.
d. Seal the shipping container securely.
e. Mark the shipping container FRAGILE to assure careful handling.
