component failure. The following information will assist you in the event that
servicing becomes necessary.

Department during business hours (8:00 A.M.–5:30 P.M. Eastern Time). When

problems can be resolved over the telephone, without the need for returning the

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. The SRO number will help 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:
Microwave Data Systems

(SRO No. XXXX)

Rochester, NY 14620 USA
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 at 585-241-5540
(FAX: [phone]), or via e-mail at [e-mail].
