Chapter 2. Getting Started  
This chapter contains information for performing a pre-installation check of your QuickPanel+ 
operator interface.  
Before installing and using the QuickPanel+, the following steps should be completed:  
2.1 Unpacking and Inspection 
Upon receiving your QuickPanel+ operator interface carefully inspect all shipping containers 
for damage. If any part of the system is damaged, notify the carrier immediately. The 
damaged shipping container should be saved as evidence for inspection by the carrier. As 
the consignee, it is your responsibility to register a claim with the carrier for damage 
incurred during shipment. However, we will fully cooperate with you should such action be 
necessary.  
After unpacking the unit, record all serial numbers. Serial numbers are required if you need 
to contact Customer Care during the warranty period. Shipping containers and packing 
material should be saved in case it is necessary to transport or ship the unit.  
Verify that all components of the system have been received and that they agree with your 
order. If the system received does not agree with your order, contact Customer Care (see 
“Contact Information” for phone numbers and email addresses).  
Before you attempt to power up the operator interface for the first time, inspect the unit for 
loose or damaged components. If damage is found (for example, in the form of bent 
component leads or loose components), contact GE Intelligent Platforms for additional 
instructions.  
Do not apply power to the unit if it has visible damage. Applying power to a unit with damaged 
components could cause additional damage.
