Vandal Resistant, Stainless Steel, Panel Telephones

K-1500-6A         K-1500-7

The K-1500 Series provides simple vandal resistant, communication in a flush mount, stainless steel, panel telephone. The K-1500-7 and K-1500-6A work ideally with Viking’s DLE-200B line simulator or on a dedicated ringdown circuit. If dialing is necessary, use instead Viking’s K-1900-7. Alternatively, combine one of these K-1500 Series phones with a Viking K-1900-5 or K-1900-30 HotLine Dialer.

The K-1500 Series phones consist of a heavy gauge stainless steel panel, an armored cable, a heavy duty black hearing aid compatible amplified handset, and an all metal cradle. Both phones are designed to mount to a standard double gang electrical box.

Note: If a ringer is required, use an external unit such as the Viking SR-1 (DOD 477).

Warranty

IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH A VIKING PRODUCT, CONTACT VIKING TECHNICAL SUPPORT AT:715-386-8666

Our Technical Support Department is available for assistance Monday to Friday 8:00am – 5:00pm central time. So we can give you better service, before you call please:

1. Know the model number, the serial number, and what software version you have (see serial label).
2. Have the Product Manual in front of you.
3. It is best if you are on site.

RETURNING PRODUCT FOR REPAIR

The following procedure is for equipment that needs repair:

1. Customer must contact Viking’s Technical Support Department at 715-386-8666 to obtain a Return Authorization (RA) number. The customer MUST have a complete description of the problem, with all pertinent information regarding the defect, such as options set, conditions, symptoms, methods to duplicate problem, frequency of failure, etc.

2. Packing: Return equipment in original box or in proper packing so that damage will not occur while in transit. The original product boxes are not designed for shipping – an overpack box is required to prevent damage in transit. Static sensitive equipment such as a circuit board should be in an anti-static bag, sandwiched between foam and individually boxed. All equipment should be wrapped to avoid packing material lodging in or sticking to the equipment. Include ALL parts of the equipment. C.O.D. or freight collect shipments cannot be accepted. Ship cartons prepaid to:
   VIKING ELECTRONICS
   1531 INDUSTRIAL STREET
   HUDSON, WI 54016

3. Return shipping address: Be sure to include your return shipping address inside the box. We cannot ship to a PO Box.

4. RA number on carton: In large printing, write the RA number on the outside of each carton being returned.

RETURNING PRODUCT FOR EXCHANGE

The following procedure is for equipment that has failed out-of-box ( within 10 days of purchase):

1. Customer must contact Viking’s Technical Support at 715-386-8666 to determine possible causes for the problem. The customer MUST be able to step through recommended tests for diagnosis.
2. If the Technical Support Product Specialist determines that the equipment is defective based on the customer’s input and troubleshooting, a Return Authorization (RA) number will be issued. This number is valid for fourteen (14) calendar days from the date of issue.
3. After obtaining the RA number, return the approved equipment to your distributor. Please reference the RA number on the paperwork being shipped back with the unit(s), and also the outside of the shipping box. The original product boxes are not designed for shipping – an overpack box is required to prevent damage in transit. Once your distributor receives the package, they will replace the product over the counter at no charge. The distributor will then return the product to Viking using the same RA number.
4. The distributor will NOT exchange this product without first obtaining the RA number from you. If you haven’t followed the steps listed in 1, 2 and 3, be aware that you will have to pay a restocking charge.
