The accounts were requested to contact GE Tech Support at 800-433-2009 to schedule a time to upgrade their system to 6.70.6 P02 as soon as possible. The accounts were requested to complete the enclosed customer reply form, supplying the workstation software or build number, and fax it back to 847-277-5240. |
