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.

Notes

• The viewfinder's LCD panel is manufactured using high precision technology that yields a quality of 99.99% or higher. However, it is possible that one or more pixels may constantly display a single color or be permanently off. This does not indicate a defective display and the camera's video signals are not affected.

• Using the viewfinder at low temperatures may result in a decrease of dynamic resolution and brightness.
