Before unpacking the equipment, check the shipping carton for any visible

damage. If you see any, be sure to follow the procedures described below

under “Visible Loss or Damage.” Otherwise, proceed to remove the equipment

from the carton. Before disposing of any packing material, check it carefully

for small parts. Then perform a visual inspection of the equipment to detect

any evidence of damage which might have occurred during shipment. Check

the following:

1.

all components against the enclosed packing list,

2.

all module plug-in units,

3.

all wire plug-in connections.

The equipment was carefully packed and thoroughly inspected before leaving

our factory. All units are tested and checked for problems prior to shipping. It

is asked that when a problem does occur that all parts and components be

inspected for damage (especially when the unit is not in working order when

received). Responsibility for safe delivery was assumed by the carrier upon

acceptance of the shipment. Claims for loss of damage sustained in transit

must therefore be made upon the carrier, as follows:

VISIBLE LOSS OR DAMAGE

Any external evidence of loss or damage must be noted on the freight bill or

express receipt, and signed by the carrier’s agent. Failure to adequately

describe such external evidence of loss or damage may result in the carrier’s

refusal to honor a damage claim. The form required to file such a claim will

be supplied by the carrier.

CONCEALED LOSS OR DAMAGE

Concealed loss or damage means loss or damage which does not become

apparent until the merchandise has been unpacked. The contents might have

been damaged in transit due to rough handling even though the container

may not show external damage. When the damage is discovered upon

unpacking, make a written request for inspection by the carrier’s agent within

48 hours of the delivery date. Then file a claim with the carrier since such

damage is the carrier’s responsibility. The form required to file such a claim

will be supplied by the carrier. Do not destroy packing materials, or move

material from one location to another before the carrier makes their

inspection.

If the system or any unit is damaged, notify “Sonics.” “Sonics” will arrange for

repair or replacement of damaged equipment without waiting for the claim

against the carrier to be settled, provided a new purchase order is issued to

cover the repair or replacement costs. Should any damage, shortage or

discrepancy exist, please notify us immediately.

NOTE: We recommend

keeping all carton(s) and

packing material in case it

might be necessary to

move the equipment, or to

ship it for repair.
