REPAIR SERVICE
Component level repair of this equipment is not recommended in the field. Many components are
installed using surface mount technology, which requires specialized training and equipment for proper
servicing. For this reason, the equipment should be returned to the factory for any PC board repairs. The
factory is best equipped to diagnose, repair and align your unit to its proper operating specifications.
If return of the equipment is necessary, you must obtain a return authorization number before shipment.
This number helps expedite the repair so that the equipment can be returned to you as quickly as possible.
Please be sure to include the number on the outside of the shipping box, and on any correspondence
relating to the repair. No equipment will be accepted for repair without an authorization number.
Return authorization numbers are issued online at www.gedigitalenergy.com/Communications.htm. On
the left side of the page, click “Login to my MDS” and once logged in, click “Service Request Order”.
Your number will be issued immediately after the required information is entered. Please be sure to have
the model number(s), serial number(s), detailed reason for return, “ship to” address, “bill to” address, and
contact name, phone number, and fax number available when requesting a number. A purchase order
number or pre-payment will be required for any units that are out of warranty, or for product conversion.
If you prefer, you may contact our Product Services department to obtain an authorization number:
Telephone Number: 585-241-5540
