SECTION III
PREPARATION FOR SHIPMENT OR STORAGE
8.
General
Prepare the Surveying Altimeter for shipment or transport by tightening all caps, shifting the vent plug (11, fig. 5) to the
closed position, and closing the cover.
9.
Packing, Handling, and Storage
Pack in a suitable box or other container with sufficient padding around the altimeter to minimize the effects of jolts
or vibration. The altimeter should be handled carefully in transit. The altimeter does not require any special treatment for
storage; however, for protection, store in a dry place free of excessive heat and vibration.
Caution: Remove the batteries when the altimeter is not in use.
