Trial Period Precautions
If your unit has been provided on a trial basis:
You should observe the following precautions to avoid reconditioning charges in case you later wish to return
the unit to your dealer.
Note the packing technique and save all packing materials. It is not wise to ship in other than the factory car-
ton. (Replacements cost $35.00).
(1) Avoid scratching the paint or plating. Set the unit on soft, clean surfaces.
(2) Do not cut the grounding pin from the line cord.
(3) Use care and proper tools in removing and tightening screws to avoid burring the heads.
(4) Use the nylon-washered rack screws supplied, if possible, to avoid damaging the panel. Support the unit
when tightening the screws so that the threads do not scrape the paint inside the slotted holes.
Packing
When you pack the unit for shipping:
(1) Tighten all screws on any barrier strip(s) so the screws do not fall out from vibration.
(2) Wrap the unit in its original plastic bag to avoid abrading the paint.
(3) Seal the inner and outer cartons with tape.
If you are returning the unit permanently (for credit), be sure to enclose:
•
The Manual(s)
•
The Registration/Warranty Card
•
The Line Cord
•
All Miscellaneous Hardware (including the Rack Screws and Keys)
•
The Extender Card (if applicable)
•
The Monitor Rolloff Filter(s) (OPTIMOD-AM only)
•
The COAX Connecting Cable (OPTIMOD-FM and OPTIMOD-TV only)
Your dealer may charge you for any missing items.
If you are returning a unit for repair, do not enclose any of the above items.
Further advice on proper packing and shipping is included in the Manual (see Table of Contents).
