3.1 Unpacking and packing
The Orcus OBS is delivered in an environmentally-friendly, flat-packable, suspension packaging. The packaging is specifically designed for the Orcus OBS system and should be re-used whenever you need to transport the sensor. Please note any damage to the packaging when you receive the equipment and unpack on a clean surface.

Do not bump or jolt any part of the equipment when handling or unpacking.
Do not kink or walk on the data cable (especially on rough surfaces such as gravel), nor allow it to bear the weight of the sensor.
Do not connect the instrument to power sources except where instructed.
Never ground any of the output signal lines from the sensor.
Warning: The Güralp Orcus OBS weighs in excess of 100 kg. Improper storage or handling may cause injury, disability or death. Always follow recognised safety procedures for heavy equipment handling.
