6.6.1 Repacking for shipment
Should you need to send the product for repair, please read the below information before
packing the product.
The shipping carton has been carefully designed to protect the SAILOR 6282 AIS
Transponder and its accessories during shipment. This carton and its associated packing
material should be used when repacking for shipment. Attach a tag indicating the type of
service required, return address, part number and full serial number. Mark the carton
FRAGILE to ensure careful handling.
If the original shipping carton is not available, the following general instructions should be
used for repacking with commercially available material.
1. Wrap the defective unit in heavy paper or plastic. Attach a tag indicating the type of
service required, return address, part number and full serial number.
2. Use a strong shipping container, e.g. a double walled carton.
3. Protect the front- and rear panel with cardboard and insert a layer of shock-absorbing
material between all surfaces of the equipment and the sides of the container.
4. Seal the shipping container securely.
5. Mark the shipping container FRAGILE to ensure careful handling.
Failure to do so may invalidate the warranty.
Note
Correct shipment is the customer’s own responsibility.
