1.9 RETURN AND REPAIR POLICY

The Repair/ Service and Return (R/S and R) Program is a means by which readily
returnable customer equipment is serviced. R/S and R provides warranty verification,
generation of appropriate paperwork, tracking, and a single point of contact.

1.9.1 R/S and R Customer Support

Lucent Technologies has many repair locations, and all locations do not repair all
products Therefore, depending upon the product, the unit may go to many different
places. Lucent has the policy that a given customer should only have to interact with
a single organization for repair issues. The Charlotte Global Provisioning Center is the
single point of contact for all material returns for repair. The phone numbers for this
center are as follows:
For RBOC (Regional Bell Operating Companies): (800) 432-4398
For all Other Customers: (800) 255-1402

1.9.2 Two Methods Of Returning Equipment

There are two process' techniques a customer can utilize to enter their equipment into
the R/S and R; process:
1.9.2.1 Customer Returns Material To Charlotte Global Provisioning Center:
Customers have the option to ship all material that Lucent Technologies repairs and
services to the Global Provisioning Center. The Charlotte Global Provisioning Repair
Center will source the material, transship items not repaired in-house (i.e. Charlotte
Provisioning Center) and do all order processing. The customer must include the

please ensure adequate packing material is used to protect the unit from further
