Before You Move the Instrument
Before you move the instrument, make sure that the new location is a dry, flat work area
that has sufficient space for the instrument, host computer, and required cables.
Tip:
Although you can always carry the instrument, depending on the distance that
you are moving it, you might use a rolling cart instead.
If you must store the instrument, then store it in a dry, dust-free, environmentally controlled
area. The storage temperature can range from -20°C to 65°C.
To minimize the possibility of damage during storage or shipment, you should pack the
instrument in the original packaging materials. Correctly repacking the instrument includes
following applicable decontamination procedures and packing instructions.
CAUTION!
When transporting the instrument, warranty claims are void if improper
packing results in damage to the instrument.
