Repackaging for Shipment
Use the original packaging material to return the instrument. If the original
packaging is unfit for use or is not available, repackage the instrument as
follows:
1. Obtain a corrugated cardboard shipping carton with dimensions of at least
three inches greater than the instrument dimensions and having a carton test
strength of at least 125 kg (275 lb).
2. If you are shipping the instrument to a Tektronix Service Center for repair or
calibration, attach a tag to the instrument with the following information:
H Owner of the instrument (with address)
H Name of a person at your firm who may be contacted if additional
information is needed
H Complete instrument type and serial number
H A description of the service required
3. Wrap the instrument with polyethylene sheeting or equivalent to protect the
outside finish and prevent entry of packing materials into the instrument.
4. Cushion the instrument on all sides by tightly packing urethane foam
between the carton and the instrument, allowing for 7.62 cm (3 in) of
padding on each side (including top and bottom).
5. Seal the carton with shipping tape or with an industrial stapler.
6. Make sure that the Tektronix Service Center address and your return address
are placed on the carton in one or more prominent locations.
NOTE. To avoid damaging the instrument, do not ship it with a diskette inside the
floppy disk drive. When a diskette is inside the drive, the disk release button
protrudes and makes the button susceptible to damage.
