Installation
Refer to Figures 1, 2, and 3 for the following instructions.
Step 1. Remove the Carrying Handle
With the mainframe in the upright or "tower" position, pull up on the instrument carrying handle
to expose the small holes on each handle mount. Carefully push a scribe or punch into one of the
holes while pulling the handle toward the center. This releases the handle retaining spring. Once
the spring is released, remove the scribe and continue to pull the handle until it disengages from
the handle mount. Repeat this procedure for the other handle mount, then store the handle for
future use.
