Packing/Unpacking

Inspect the shipping container for evidence of damage immediately after receipt. If
the shipping container or cushioning material is damaged, it should be kept until the
contents of the shipment have been checked for completeness and the unit has
been checked mechanically and electrically.

The shipping container should be placed upright and opened from the top. Remove
the cushioning material and lift out the contents.

The contents of the shipment should be checked against the packing list. If the
contents are incomplete, if there is mechanical damage or defect, or if the unit does
not perform correctly when unpacked, notify your Grass Valley sales or service
centre within eight days.

If the shipping container shows signs of damage or stress, notify the carrier as well.
If the unit is being returned to Grass Valley for servicing, try to use the containers
and materials of the original packaging. Attach a tag indicating the type of service
required, return address, model number, full serial number and the return number
which will be supplied by your Grass Valley service centre.

If the original packing can no longer be used, the following general instructions
should be used for repacking with commercially available materials:

• Wrap unit in heavy paper or plastic.

• Use a strong shipping container.

• Use a layer of shock-absorbing material around all sides of the unit to provide
firm cushioning and prevent movement inside container.

• Seal shipping container securely.

• Mark shipping container FRAGILE to ensure careful handling.
