Return Material Policy
The maintenance philosophy for the AIS AtoN is replacement of failed assemblies. In the unlikely case of a failure, the
entire unit should be sent back to the factory.
Attempts by anyone but an authorized L--3 representative to repair the AIS AtoN will void the warranty.
Components and spare parts purchased from L--3 that are discrepant for any of the following
reasons may be returned immediately, provided the extended value o f the parts is in excess of
$100.00.
1. Overshipments
Quantity of parts received in excess of quantity specified on purchase order.
2. Wrong Part Numbers
Receipt of parts numbered other than those identified on a customer order where L--3 has
not advised the customer by purchase order acknowledgment, by telex, or by notification
on the shipping document that the received part is a replacement for the ordered part.
3. Parts Nonconforming to Specifications
If the extended value of the items is less than $100.00, the items are to be scrapped
instead of returned. When this occurs, notification must be sent to L--3 advising: (1) the
reason for the rejection; (2) the items are less than $100.00 in extended value and have
been scrapped, and; (3) whether credit or replacement is desired.
If you wish to return material to L --3 for reasons other than warranty returns or those specified
above, please contact an L--3 Account Administrator for authorization before proceeding. A
Return Author ization Number will be assigned at this time. Your request should specify the
relevant Return Authorization Number, purchase order number, part number, quantity, and the
reason you wish the part returned.
To assist us in processing these items more efficiently, we ask that all returned goods be ac-
companied by paperwork that clearly indicates the following:
1. Reason for return
2. Purchase Order Numbers
3. Correspondence Reference Number
4. Return Authorization Number
