Inspection

The Information Center system has been carefully packaged at the Philips factory so that no
damage should occur in shipment. However, Philips has no control over shipping and
handling after it leaves its facility, and a thorough inspection of Philips components after
removal from their packaging is an essential step to assuring that no damage has occurred.
Note Documenting possible damage in shipment may be necessary to support claims for hidden
damage that becomes apparent only during testing and operation.
