Ask an ExpertIf you are returning an amplifier to the factory for evaluation and repair AND you no longer have the original packaging, you can purchase a new packaging set by contacting Manitou Systems. We typically suggest that the power transformer is removed and not returned for service unless an engineer requests it.

The Series PS paging set comes with the following items; inner and outer carton, large bubble wrap and, 8 pieces of Styrofoam corners. We suggest that you follow the preparation and packaging sequence in the following images. You will need to provide your own plastic bag to (separately) protect the power supply and clear, heavy duty, 2″ wide packing tape to seal the boxes. The (empty) shipping weight for the set is 3 lbs.

Always contact Manitou Systems before shipping any product back to us and always include our email address on the shipper’s electronic form so that we are alerted to the shipment’s status.
