2. If the container is not damaged, unpack the unit. Save the packing
materials in case the unit should need to be shipped again.
3. Inspect all of the components for visible signs of damage.
Immediately notify the shipping carrier and Bird Electronic
Corporation of equipment damage or missing parts.
