If any PMI product requires repair or is defective, call PMI at (800) 296- 
4120 before shipping the unit to PMI. If the problem cannot be resolved over 
the phone, PMI will issue a return authorization number. For prompt service, 
all shipments to PMI must include: 
1. Billing and shipping address for return of equipment. 
2. The name and telephone number of whom to contact for further information. 
3. A description of the problem or work required. 
4. A list of the enclosed items and serial numbers. 
5. A return authorization number. 
6. If possible, a copy of the original invoice. 
Equipment returned to PMI must be shipped with freight charges pre- 
paid. After repair, PMI will return equipment F.O.B. factory. If equipment 
is repaired under warranty obligation, freight charges (excluding air freight or 
premium services) will be refunded or credited to the customer’s account.
