Getting Started
This checklist assumes that your entire
system arrived and that you are ready
to unpack and place it in its appropriate
location.
Before proceeding, unpack all cartons and
check the contents of each carton against the
Product Delivery Document (shipping list).
If any item is missing or damaged, contact
your delivery agent and your Digital sales
representative.
Caution: Before you install your system,
review the system warranty. The terms of
your agreement with Digital may require
that a Digital service representative install
your system. Contact your local Digital
representative if you have any questions.
