8.5 Using Motorola System Support Center (SSC)
Motorola support centers can help technicians and engineers resolve system problems and ensure that warranty
requirements are met. Check your contract for specific warranty information.
Motorola assigns a tracking ticket number that identifies each support call. This allows Motorola to track problems,
resolutions, and activities for the call. If possible, communicate the resolution and a status of call so that the
Motorola System Support Center (SSC) can note the resolution and close the ticket.
