Unpacking
Special-design packing material inside this shipping carton provides maximum protection for the
IFR 4000. Avoid damaging the carton and packing material during equipment unpacking. Use the
following steps for unpacking the IFR 4000.
● Cut and remove the sealing tape on the carton top and open the carton.
● Grasp the IFR 4000 transit case firmly, while restraining the shipping carton, and lift the
equipment and packing material vertically.
● Place the IFR 4000 transit case and end cap packing on a suitable flat, clean and dry surface.
● Remove the protective plastic bag from the IFR 4000 transit case. Place protective plastic bag
and end cap packing material inside shipping carton. Store the shipping carton for future use
should the IFR 4000 need to be returned.
Checking Unpacked Equipment
● Inspect the equipment for damage incurred during shipment. If the equipment has been
d a ma g e d , r e p o r t t h e d a ma g e t o A e r o f l e x .
● Check the equipment against the packing slip to see if the shipment is complete. Report all
discrepancies to Aeroflex.
