WARNING
CAUTION
CAUTION
Do not lift the transit case by the telescoping handle. The handle is designed for pulling the case across smooth surfaces. Do not use the telescoping handle to pull the transit case up stairs, over curbs, or over rough terrain. Under certain circumstances, with improper usage, the telescoping handle may break and the falling case may cause injury.
The handles on the transit case have been tested for a load limit of 100 pounds gross weight. Exceeding the load limit could result in the failure of the handles.
Failure to replace the foam inserts when accessories are not present may result in damage to the spectrum analyzer. Be sure to save any foam inserts that you may have removed for accessory placement.
