Installation
2.1 Introduction
This chapter provides instructions and guidelines for installing the 9-Meter
antenna system. General safety precautions and procedures are also
described.
2.1 Unpacking and Inspection
1. Inspect all shipping crates for visible damage.
2. Open the shipping crate and remove all packing material.
3. Inspect equipment for visible damage. While unpacking, carefully
compare bill of lading or packing lists with equipment received. If
equipment is missing, carefully check and sift through packing material
to confirm. If errors are confirmed, notify ViaSat and carrier as soon as
possible.
2.1.1 Damage or Loss During Shipment
When equipment is damaged or lost in transit, the delivering transportation
company is required by law to make notation of damage or loss on the
freight bill. The carrier, not the shipper, should be charged with all damage
or loss. If damage or loss during shipping occurs, contact the carrier of the
equipment. Save the shipping carton. The carrier's inspector must examine
the carton and complete an inspection report.
2.1.2 What to do about Visible Loss or Damage
Make a note of any loss or evidence of external damage on the freight bill or
receipt, and have it signed by the carrier's agent. Failure to adequately
describe such external evidence of loss or damage may result in the carrier
refusing to honor a damage claim. The form required to file such a claim will
be supplied by the carrier.
2.1.3 What to do about Concealed Damage
Concealed damage means damage which does not become apparent until the
unit has been unpacked. The contents may be damaged in transit due to
rough handling, even though the
crate may not show external damage. If you
discover damage after unpacking the unit, make a written request for
inspection by the carrier's agent within 15 days of the delivery date, then file
a claim with the carrier since such damage is the carrier's responsibility. If
