I F YOU NEED TO CALL FOR HELP
Call our Customer Service/Technical Support line at
[phone] between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. EST,
weekdays. Please have the units serial number
available. We will also need to know the specifics of
any other equipment connected to the unit.
When calling, please have the unit up and running, near
the phone if possible. Our technician(s) will likely ask
certain questions to aid in diagnosis of the problem.
Also, have a voltmeter handy, if possible.
R. L. DRAKE also provides technical assistance by
e-mail: [e-mail]
or by Telefax: [phone].
Many of the products that are sent to us for repair are
in perfect working order when we receive them. For
these units, there is a standard checkout fee that you
will be charged. Please perform whatever steps are
applicable from the installation sections of the Owner's
Manual before calling or writingthis could save
unnecessary phone charges. Please do not return the
unit without contacting R. L. Drake first: it is preferred
to help troubleshoot the problem over the phone (or
by mail) first, saving you both time and money.
Inside the carton, enclose a note with your name,
address, daytime phone number, and a description of
the units problem.
The unit must be sent to the following address:
R. L. Drake Company
230 Industrial Drive
Franklin, Ohio 45005 U.S.A.
Be sure to include your street address which will be
needed for UPS return. UPS Surface (Brown Label)
takes 7-10 days to reach us depending on your loca-
tion, Blue takes 2-3 days. Red is an overnight service
and is expensive. Send the unit in a way that it can be
traced if we cant verify receipt of shipment. We
suggest UPS or insured postal shipment.
If the unit is still under the original owners warranty,
R. L. DRAKE will pay the cost of the return shipment
to you. Our return shipping policy is that we will return
it UPS Brown if received Brown or by US Mail, it will
be returned Blue if received Blue or Redor it will be
returned however you prefer if you furnish the return
cost for the method you select.
If the unit is out of warranty, it will be returned by UPS
Brown label COD unless:
1) It was received UPS Blue/Red, in which case it will
be returned UPS Blue/Red COD;
2) You designate billing to American Express, VISA,
MasterCard or Discover card;
3) You prepay the service charges with a personal
check, or
4) You specify some other method of return.
When calling, the technician can estimate the repair
charges for you over the phone. This is another good
reason to call before sending a unit in for repair.
Typically, equipment is repaired in five to ten working
days after it arrives at R. L. DRAKE if we have all the
facts. If we must call you, it may take longer. R. L.
DRAKE is not responsible for damage caused by
lightning, nonprofessional alterations, acts of God,
shipping damage, poor storage/handling, etc. R. L.
Drake will make note of any shipping damage upon
receipt.
Should your warranty card not be on file at R. L.
DRAKE, you will need to send proof of purchase to
receive warranty service. Typically, a copy of the
invoice from an R. L. DRAKE dealer will suffice. The
warranty is for the original owner only and is not
transferable.
