Getting Started
Initial Inspection
Immediately upon receipt, inspect the shipping container for damage. The container should be retained until
the shipment has been checked for completeness and the equipment has been checked mechanically and
electrically. If the shipment is incomplete, if there is mechanical damage, or if the unit fails to operate notify
FiberPlex and make the shipping materials available for the carrier's inspection.
