• Contact a GE Digital Energy Technical Support Center. Contact information is found in the first chapter.
• Obtain a Return Materials Authorization (RMA) number from the Technical Support Center.
• Verify that the RMA and Commercial Invoice received have the correct information.

the item(s). You may also use double boxing whereby you place the box in a larger box that contains at least 5 cm of
cushioning material.
