8. After Hours Service Process
DSL utilizes on-call technicians for all areas.
When a customer calls in after hours they will reach our automated
attendant. At this time they will be given the option of leaving a
message to be addressed the next business day or having their call
routed and speak directly with our on call technician.
Our new state-of-the-art phone system that was installed mid-2008 allows us to have customer-
specific toll free numbers, greetings for service and automatic call routing based on the entry of a
store number on the touch-tone keypad.

DSL has on staff a full time factory-trained telephone trouble-shooter who provides no charge
operational assistance to customers. Over half of the calls routed through our trouble-shooter are
fixed over the phone without the expense of a service technician visit.
