Package the Synthesizer for Shipment

CAUTION

Use the following steps to package the synthesizer for shipment to Hewlett-Packard for service:

1.Fill in a service tag (available at the end of Chapter 4) and attach it to the instrument. Please be as specific as possible about the nature of the problem. Send a copy of any or all of the following information:

n Any error messages that appeared on the synthesizer display

n A completed Performance Test record from the service guide for your instrument

n Any other specific data on the performance of the synthesizer

Synthesizer damage can result from using packaging materials other than those specified. Never use styrene pellets in any shape as packaging materials. They do not adequately cushion the instrument or prevent it from shifting in the carton. Styrene pellets cause equipment damage by generating static electricity and by lodging in the synthesizer fan.

2.Use the original packaging materials or a strong shipping container that is made of double-walled, corrugated cardboard with 159 kg (350 lb) bursting strength. The carton must be both large enough and strong enough to accommodate the synthesizer and allow

at least 3 to 4 inches on all sides of the synthesizer for packing material.

3.Surround the instrument with at least 3 to 4 inches of packing material, or enough to prevent the instrument from moving in the carton. If packing foam is not available, the best alternative is SD-240 Air CapTM from Sealed Air Corporation (Hayward, CA 94545). Air Cap 1ooks1ike a plastic sheet covered with l-1/4 inch air-filled bubbles. Use the pink Air Cap to reduce static electricity. Wrap the instrument several times in the material to both protect the instrument and prevent it from moving in the carton.

4.Seal the shipping container securely with strong nylon adhesive tape.

5.Mark the shipping container “FRAGILE, HANDLE WITH CARE” to ensure careful handling.

6.Retain copies of all shipping papers.

In any correspondence, refer to the synthesizer by model number and full serial number.
