OBTAINING REPAIR SERVICE

Before contacting Alesis, check over all your connections, and make sure you’ve read the manual. Your Alesis dealer may be able to offer further assistance.

Customers in the USA:

If the problem persists, copy down the serial number of your DG8 and call Alesis USA at 1-800-5-ALESIS and request the Technical Support Department. Talk the problem over with one of our technicians; if necessary, you will be given a return authorization (RA) number and instructions on how to return the unit to Alesis or the nearest authorized service center. All units must be shipped prepaid and COD shipments will not be accepted.

You must indicate the RA number on the shipping label or the shipment will not be accepted. If you do not have the original packing, ship the DG8 in a sturdy carton with shock-absorbing materials such as foam or “bubble-pack” surrounding the unit. Shipping damage caused by inadequate packing is not covered by the Alesis warranty. Ship the unit with insurance via a carrier that provides a tracking system.

Tape a note to the top of the unit describing the problem, include your name and a phone number where Alesis can contact you if necessary, as well as instructions on where you want the product returned. Alesis will pay for standard one-way shipping back to you on any repair covered under the terms of this warranty.

Field repairs are not authorized during the warranty period, and repair attempts by unqualified personnel may invalidate the warranty.
