PRISM MPS Portable Accessory Installation Instructions
Assembly
This section describes how to install the portable accessory equipment to the PRISM
MPS.
Initial Product Inspection
1. Inspect the shipping carton for external damage, which may indicate damage to
the equipment.
2. Remove the equipment from the shipping carton and check that the equipment
has not been damaged in transit. Prior to shipment the equipment is thoroughly
inspected for mechanical defects. The equipment should not have any scratches or
impact marks.
Note: Save the shipping carton and packaging materials for instrument repackaging
in case shipment becomes necessary.
3. Verify the shipping carton contains the standard accessories and all necessary
screws.
Accessories
Note: All the accessories in the kit can be attached to an MPS at the same time. No
part prevents the installation of any other part in the kit.
