1.0.2 Product warranty
Advantech warrants to you, the original purchaser, that each of its prod-
ucts will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for two years
from the date of purchase.
This warranty does not apply to any products which have been repaired or
altered by persons other than repair personnel authorized by Advantech,
or which have been subject to misuse, abuse, accident or improper instal-
lation. Advantech assumes no liability under the terms of this warranty as
a consequence of such events.
If an Advantech product is defective, it will be repaired or replaced at no
charge during the warranty period. For out-of-warranty repairs, you will
be billed according to the cost of replacement materials, service time and
freight. Please consult your dealer for more details.
If you think you have a defective product, follow these steps:
Step 1. Collect all the information about the problem encountered. (For
example, type of PC, CPU speed, Advantech products used,
other hardware and software used, etc.) Note anything abnormal
and list any on-screen messages you get when the problem
occurs.
Step 2. Call your dealer and describe the problem. Please have your man-
ual, product, and any helpful information readily available.
Step 3. If your product is diagnosed as defective, obtain an RMA (return
material authorization) number from your dealer. This allows us
to process your return more quickly.
Step 4. Carefully pack the defective product, a fully-completed Repair
and Replacement Order Card and a photocopy proof of purchase
date (such as your sales receipt) in a shippable container. A prod-
uct returned without proof of the purchase date is not eligible for
warranty service.
Step 5. Write the RMA number visibly on the outside of the package and
ship it prepaid to your dealer.
