Unpacking
Special-design packing material inside this shipping carton provides maximum protection for the
IFR 6000. Avoid damaging the carton and packing material during equipment unpacking. Use the
f o l l o wi n g s t e p s f o r u n p a c k i n g t h e I F R 6 0 0 0 .
 Cut and remove the sealing tape on the carton top and open the carton.
 G r a s p t h e I F R 6 0 0 0 t r a n s i t c a s e f i r m l y , wh i l e r e s t r a i n i n g t h e s h i p p i n g c a r t o n , a n d l i f t t h e
equipment and packing material vertically.
 Place the IFR 6000 transit case and end cap packing on a suitable flat, clean and dry surface.
 Remove the protective plastic bag from the IFR 6000 transit case.
 Place protective plastic bag and end cap packing material inside shipping carton.
 Store the shipping carton for future use should the IFR 6000 need to be returned.
Checking Unpacked Equipment
 Inspect the equipment for damage incurred during shipment. If the equipment has been
damaged, report the damage to Aeroflex.
 Check the equipment against the packing slip to see if the shipment is complete. Report all
discrepancies to Aeroflex.
