Inspection
The Information Center system has been carefully packaged at the Philips factory so that no
damage should occur in shipment. However, Philips has no control over shipping and
handling after it leaves its facility, and a thorough inspection of Philips components after
removal from their packaging is an essential step to assuring that no damage has occurred.
Note Documenting possible damage in shipment may be necessary to support claims for hidden
damage that becomes apparent only during testing and operation.
Packaging
Inspection
Before removing the components from their packaging, the shipment container should be
inspected for damage. External damage to shipping containers may indicate damage to its
contents. Open the shipping containers and check the cushioning material. Note any signs of
stress for indications of rough handling in transit. Document any damage conditions.
Mechanical
Inspection
Unpack each component from its shipping material. Examine all parts of each component
for visible damage -- broken connectors or controls, dents or scratches on instrument
surfaces, or any other unusual appearance. Document any damage conditions.
Electrical
Inspection
No detailed internal or electrical inspection is required. The equipment has undergone
extensive electrical testing and configuration prior to shipment and all PC boards and
operating software have been pre-installed.
Claims for
Damage
If physical damage is evident during unpacking or if, during initial testing and operation, the
Philips system fails to meet performance specifications in any way, immediately notify the
shipment carrier and the nearest Philips Sales/Support Office. Philips will arrange for
immediate repair or replacement of the instrument without waiting for any claims to be
settled.
Re-packaging for
Shipment
To ship the system to a Philips Sales/Support Office, the original Philips packaging
materials should be used (if at all possible) to provide proper protection during shipping. If
the original packaging is not available or reusable, contact the Philips Sales/Support Office,
which will provide information on alternative packaging materials and methods.
When addressing the shipment, securely attach a label and include the name and address of
the owner, the instrument model and serial number, and a detailed description of any
damage, repair required, or symptoms of faults.
