sale with the unit when it is shipped to BBE Sound, Inc. so that the service can be expedited.
As the repair turnaround time is minimal, we request that the unit be sent to BBE Sound, Inc. We also need to add reliability
data to our files so that future revisions may be undertaken, if necessary, to improve the product.

the bill of sale for future reference.

PROOF OF PURCHASE TO VALIDATE THE WARRANTY IF WARRANTY SERVICE IS REQUESTED.
The BBE 422A is warranted against defects in material and workmanship for a period of one (1) year from date of
purchase from BBE Sound. Inc. or from an authorized dealer.

Maintenance
Maintenance of the BBE 422A is limited to proper cleaning of the unit with mild household cleaner such as Formula 409™
or Windex'T The chassis and cover are steel finished with a durable polyurethane paint, while the front panel is an anodized
aluminum extrusion.
There are no user replaceable parts and the unit should not be opened for any reason unless you are a qualified technician.
Calibration should be performed if parts are replaced or if a performance check-out indicates a problem with calibration.
Long term use has shown that over the life of this unit there is little or no drift of the components in the BBE 422A which
would cause a change in calibration. A very conservative design philosophy has resulted in a piece of equipment which runs
very cool and should give years of frouble-free service.
