Unpacking the GTP-880

Before your new ADCOM tuner-preamplifier left our factory, it was carefully inspected for physical imperfections and test- ed for all electrical parameters as a routine part of ADCOM’s systematic quality control. This, along with full operational and mechanical testing, should ensure a product flawless in both appearance and performance. After you have unpacked the GTP-880, inspect it for physical damage. Save the shipping carton and all packing material as they are intended to reduce the possibility of transportation damage should the preamplifier ever need to be shipped again. In the unlikely event damage has occurred, notify your dealer immediately and request the name of the carrier so a written claim to cover shipping damages can be initiated. The right to a claim against a public carrier can be forfeited if the carrier is not notified promptly in writing and if the shipping carton and packing materials are not available for inspection by the carrier. Save all packing materials until the claim has been settled.
