How do I return a broken unit? Regardless of whether or not the unit is intact (no mercury leakage) it may be returned to ADC for service via UPS only (USPS does not author- ize shipment of mercury). When returning an intact mercurial unit, be sure to include a note listing your name, address, daytime phone num- ber, and symptoms of the unit.
Please note that the mercury return kit is NOT necessary but is provided as a con- venience. If you choose not to use an ADC return kit, you will need a leak-proof, sealable 3 mil plastic bag (for each unit), rubber bands/twist ties/fasteners, a 200 test corrugated carton, and the ap- propriate shipping labels.
