Unpacking and Installation
The carton and shipping materials used to protect your

cushion it from shock and vibration. We suggest that you
save the carton and packing materials for use in shipping

new 2.0 during shipment were specially designed to
cushion it from shock and vibration. We suggest that you
save the carton and packing materials for use in shipping
if you move or should the unit ever need repair.
To minimize the size of the carton in storage, you may
wish to flatten it. This is done by carefully slitting the tape
seams on the bottom and collapsing the carton down to a
more two-dimensional appearance. Other cardboard
inserts may be stored in the same manner. Packing
materials that cannot be collapsed should be saved along
with the carton in a plastic bag.
