If you contact MTS
by phone
Your call will be registered by a HELPLine agent if you are calling
within the United States or Canada. Before connecting you with a
technical support specialist, your agent will ask you for your site
number, name, company, company address, and the phone number
where you can normally be reached.
Identify system type To assist your HELPLine agent with connecting you to the most
qualified technical support specialist available, identify your system as
one of the following types:
• Electromechanical materials test system
• Hydromechanical materials test system
• Vehicles test system
• Vehicles component test system

troubleshoot
Prepare yourself for troubleshooting while on the phone.

implementing suggestions made over the phone.

available.
• If you are not familiar with all aspects of the equipment operation,
have an experienced user nearby to assist you.
