IN CASE OF DIFFICULTY...
MDS products are designed for long life and trouble-free operation. However,
this equipment, as with all electronic equipment, may have an occasional
component failure. The following information will assist you in the event that
servicing becomes necessary.

Technical assistance for MDS products is available from our Technical Support
Department during business hours (8:00 A.M.–5:30 P.M. Eastern Time). When
calling, please give the complete model number of the radio, along with a
description of the trouble/symptom(s) that you are experiencing. In many cases,
problems can be resolved over the telephone, without the need for returning the
unit to the factory. Please use one of the following means for product assistance:

FACTORY SERVICE
Component level repair of radio equipment is not recommended in the field.
Many components are installed using surface mount technology, which requires
specialized training and equipment for proper servicing. For this reason, the
equipment should be returned to the factory for any PC board repairs. The
factory is best equipped to diagnose, repair and align your radio to its proper
operating specifications.
If return of the equipment is necessary, you will be issued a Service Request
Order (SRO) number. SRO numbers are available online at www.GEmds.com.
The SRO number helps expedite the repair so that the equipment can be
repaired and returned to you as quickly as possible. Please be sure to include the
SRO number on the outside of the shipping box, and on any correspondence
relating to the repair. No equipment will be accepted for repair without an SRO
number.
A statement should accompany the radio describing, in detail, the trouble
symptom(s), and a description of any associated equipment normally connected
to the radio. It is also important to include the name and telephone number of a
person in your organization who can be contacted if additional information is
required.
The radio must be properly packed for return to the factory. The original ship-
ping container and packaging materials should be used whenever possible. All
factory returns should be addressed to:
GE MDS, LLC.

When repairs have been completed, the equipment will be returned to you by
the same shipping method used to send it to the factory. Please specify if you
wish to make different shipping arrangements. To inquire about an in-process
repair, you may contact our Product Services Group using the telephone, Fax,
or E-mail information given above.
