Service and Repair
If your system malfunctions, you should attempt to correct or isolate the
trouble before concluding that the equipment needs repair. Make sure you have
followed the setup procedure and operating instructions. Check the
interconnecting cables and then go through the Troubleshooting section in this
manual.
We strongly recommend that you do not try to repair the equipment yourself and
do not have the local repair shop attempt anything other than the simplest
repair. If the repair is more complicated than a broken wire or loose
connection, send the unit to the factory for repair and service. Don’t attempt
to adjust any controls inside the units. Once set at the factory, the various
controls and trimmers do not drift with age or vibration and never require
readjustment.
There are no adjustments inside that will make a malfunctioning unit start
working.
LECTROSONICS’ Service Department is equipped and staffed to quickly repair
your equipment. In warranty repairs are made at no charge in accordance with
the terms of the warranty. Out-of-warranty repairs are charged at a modest
flat rate plus parts and shipping. Since it takes almost as much time and
effort to determine what is wrong as it does to make the repair, there is a
charge for an exact quotation. We will be happy to quote approximate charges
by phone for
out-of-warranty repairs.
Returning Units for Repair
For timely service, please follow the steps below:
A. DO NOT return equipment to the factory for repair without first contacting
us by email or by phone. We need to know the nature of the problem, the model
number and the serial number of the equipment. We also need a phone number
where you can be reached 8 A.M. to 4 P.M. (U.S. Mountain Standard Time).
B. After receiving your request, we will issue you a return authorization
number (R.A.). This number will help speed your repair through our receiving
and repair departments. The return authorization number must be clearly shown
on the outside of the shipping container.
C. Pack the equipment carefully and ship to us, shipping costs prepaid. If
necessary, we can provide you with the proper packing materials. UPS is
usually the best way to ship the units. Heavy units should be “double-boxed”
for safe transport.
D. We also strongly recommend that you insure the equipment, since we cannot
be responsible for loss of or damage to equipment that you ship. Of course, we
insure the equipment when we ship it back to you.
