Xantrex return material authorization (RMA) number is not required. However, you must 
contact the ASC prior to returning the product or presenting the unit to verify any return 
procedures that may apply to that particular facility and that the ASC repairs this particular 
Xantrex product.

Out of Warranty Service

If the warranty period for your XPower Powerpack Solar 400 has expired, if the unit was 
damaged by misuse or incorrect installation, if other conditions of the warranty have not 
been met, or if no dated proof of purchase is available, your unit may be serviced or 
replaced for a flat fee.
To return your XPower Powerpack Solar 400 for out of warranty service, contact Xantrex

incomplete units or units with excessive damage, an additional fee will be charged. If 
applicable, you will be contacted by Customer Service once your unit has been received.
