The RRUS A2 is transported in a box.

To unpack and check the materials, perform the following procedure:

Y
1. Examine the packaging for damage. If it has been damaged, immediately
register a complaint with the transport company. It is recommended that a

R
photo of the damages be taken to improve the claims process.

Note: Use the packaging for any return units. More information can be

A
found in Handling Faulty Equipment.

2. Check that the items delivered correspond to the packing list. More

IN
information can be found in the Site Installation Documentation.

3. Dispose of the box in accordance with local regulations or Ericsson

recommendations.
