Product Warranty (2 years)
Advantech warrants to you, the original purchaser, that each of its products will be
free from defects in materials and workmanship for two years from the date of pur-
chase.
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 installation. Advantech assumes no
liability under the terms of this warranty as a consequence of such events.

speed, Advantech products used, other hardware and software used, etc.) Note
anything abnormal and list any onscreen messages you get when the problem
occurs.
2.
Call your dealer and describe the problem. Please have your manual, product,
and any helpful information readily available.
3.
If your product is diagnosed as defective, obtain an RMA (return merchandize
authorization) number from your dealer. This allows us to process your return
more quickly.
4.

Order Card and a photocopy proof of purchase date (such as your sales receipt)
in a shippable container. A product returned without proof of the purchase date

Wireless & safety certification
Integration stage
This phase comprises of HW/SW integration, application development, and ePaper
implementation. Due to the lack of knowledge and experience on plat- forms, cus-
tomers need to spend a certain amount of time on analyzing integration problems. In
addition, ePaper implementation has a lot to do with driver and signal communication
which is not plug and play device. Therefore the customer has to learn from trial and
error and finally get the best solution with the least effort. Advantech's team has com-
pleted total standard HW/SW solution to do performance fine tune, driver integration
and application-specific customization. Consequently, we can support customers
with professional advice and information as well as shortening development time and
enabling more effective product integration.
Validation stage
After customer's ES sample is completed, the next step is a series of verification
steps. In addition to verifying a product's functionality, the related test of the product's
efficiency and stability are also an important part at this stage especially . As a sup-
portive role, Advantech primarily helps customers solve their problems in the testing
process and will give suggestions and tips as well. Through an efficient verification
process backed by our technical support, customers are able to optimize their appli-
cations with less fuss. Furthermore, Advantech's team can provide professional con-
sulting services about further testing and equipment usage, so customers can find
the right tools to efficiently identify and solve problems to further enhance their prod-
ucts quality and performance.
