Global Positioning System…
1.
Remove and hang on to
the main power
battery or
the AA batteries and battery
tray if you’re using them.
The batteries are yours and
the PLGR repair folks don’t
need ‘em—
and won’t
return ‘em.
3.
Don’t send the
repair folks any
of the PLGR
accessories. They
don’t need them
and you will.
4.
Pack the PLGR carefully. Don’t toss
a pile of them into a box, slap on some
tape, and send them off for repair. By
the time they reach the repair folks,
there’ll be a whole lot more things to
fix and it
won’t
be covered by the
warranty. In fact, you shouldn’t let
problem PLGRs pile up. When one is
down, pack it up right and ship it off!
5.
Units supported by direct support
(DS) shops should turn in your
PLGRs to them and they will give
you a working replacement. The DS
folks will send busted PLGRs to:
Rockwell Collins
855 35th Street NE
ATTN: PLGR Repair, M/S 139-141
Cedar Rapids, IA 52402-3613
They also put
DODAAC EZ7415
on the shipping container and mark
the package,
PLGR WARRANTY
.
Units not supported by DS can
ship PLGRs directly to Rockwell
Collins.
This shipping address is good for
both under warranty and out-of-
warranty PLGRS. Rockwell Collins
will know if a payment is needed
and how to do the billing.
2.
Don’t remove the memory
battery! That little 3.6 volt,
AA-size lithium battery
stores the PLGR fault codes
that will tell the repairman
where the problem is. You’ll
get a memory battery back if
you send one it.
6.
Finally, make sure before you ship
that you give the repair folks all the
info they might need. That includes
how to get in touch with you, your
return address and your assessment
of what is wrong with the PLGR
including the operating environment.
Hey, Charlie!
Another one
for your
collection!
There’s
no
note, no ID,
no nothin’!
It was
horrible!
we
were packed
in like sardines!
where’s
that dang
power
cable?!
When you send an
AN/PSN-11(V)1 precision
lightweight global
receiver (PLGR) off for
repair there are a few
things you should know…
somebody sent
us
another
battery!
add it to
the pile!
