Package the Use the following steps to package the synthesizer for shipment to
Synthesizer for Hewlett-Packard for service:
Shipment
1. Fill in a service tag (available at the end of Chapter 4) and attach
it to the instrument. Please be as specific as possible about the
nature of the problem. Send a copy of any or all of the following
information:
n Any error messages that appeared on the synthesizer display
n A completed Performance Test record from the service guide for
your instrument
n Any other specific data on the performance of the synthesizer
CAUTION Synthesizer damage can result from using packaging materials other
than those specified. Never use styrene pellets in any shape as
packaging materials. They do not adequately cushion the instrument
or prevent it from shifting in the carton. Styrene pellets cause
equipment damage by generating static electricity and by lodging in
the synthesizer fan.
2. Use the original packaging materials or a strong shipping container
that is made of double-walled, corrugated cardboard with 159 kg
(350 lb) bursting strength. The carton must be both large enough
and strong enough to accommodate the synthesizer and allow
at least 3 to 4 inches on all sides of the synthesizer for packing
material.
3. Surround the instrument with at least 3 to 4 inches of packing
material, or enough to prevent the instrument from moving in
the carton. If packing foam is not available, the best alternative
is
Air Cap from Sealed Air Corporation (Hayward,
CA 94545). Air Cap 1oo s i k 1 ke a plastic sheet covered with
inch air-filled bubbles. Use the pink Air Cap to reduce static
electricity. Wrap the instrument several times in the material to
both protect the instrument and prevent it from moving in the
carton.
4. Seal the shipping container securely with strong nylon adhesive
tape.
5. Mark the shipping container “FRAGILE, HANDLE WITH
CARE” to ensure careful handling.
6. Retain copies of all shipping papers.
In any correspondence, refer to the synthesizer by model number
and full serial number.
