tered.
• The customer must obtain a Case ID Number from D-Link Technical Support at 1-877-453-5465, who will

able shipping package to ensure that it will not be damaged in transit, and the RMA number must be promi-
nently marked on the outside of the package. Do not include any manuals or accessories in the shipping
package. D-Link will only replace the defective portion of the product and will not ship back any accessories.
