ARCHITECT

Service

First, if you need service, it is probably 
best to go and see a trained health care 
professional.
If the Architect Model P250 EQ needs 
service, then please contact AudioControl, 
either by e-mail or phone. We will verify if 
there is anything wrong in the system that 
you can correct yourself, or if it needs to 
be sent back to our factory for repair.
If it does end up that it needs to return 
home for some care, make sure that 
the nice and friendly tech support folks 
provide you with an RMA number. They’ll 
want to give you one so you and they can 
track the product, know when it’s arrived, 
give you a call should any questions arise 
and stuff like that. 
Please include the following items when 
returning the unit:
1.  An RMA number 
2.   A copy of your proof of purchase. No 

originals please. We cannot guarantee 
returning them to you.

3.  A brief explanation of the trouble you 

are having with the unit. (You’d be 
surprised how many people forget 
this.) If you can supply a really detailed 
description of the problem, this would 
be so much better, and our service 
technicians may add you to their 
Christmas Card list. Please include any 
notes about the system, whether or 
not pineapple is really a pizza topping,  
and other components you are using. 
Is it an intermittent problem that only 
occurs on the first full moon of Spring?

4.  A return street address. (No PO Boxes, 

please).

5.  A daytime phone number in case our 

technicians have a question about the 
problem you are having, or if they are 
just feeling lonely.

6.  Package the unit in the original 

packaging if you still have it, and if the 
cat hasn’t had three litters of kittens 
in the box. Use great care and plenty 
of good packing materials to protect 
the unit and prevent it from moving 
about inside the box. Do not use loose 
materials like packing peanuts or real 
peanuts.

You are responsible for the freight charges 
to us, but we’ll pay the return freight back 
as long as the unit is under warranty. We 
match whatever shipping method you 
use to send it to us, so if you return the 
unit overnight freight, we send it back 
overnight. We recommend United Parcel 
Service (UPS) for most shipments.
