This device complies with the requirements in Part 15 of the FCC regulations:
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
This device may not cause harmful interference.
This device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B dig-
ital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Regulations. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is
operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Opera-
tion of this device in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which
case users are required to correct the interference at their own expense. The user is
advised that any equipment changes or modifications not expressly approved by the
party responsible for compliance would void compliance with the FCC regulations
and, therefore, the user’s authorization to operate the equipment.
Caution! There is a risk of a new battery exploding if incorrectly installed. Do not
attempt to recharge, force open, or heat the battery. Replace the battery
only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufac-
turer. Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer's instruc-
tions.

Product Warranty (2 years)
Advantech warrants the original purchaser that its products 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 that have been repaired or altered by
persons other than repair personnel authorized by Advantech, or products that 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.
Because of Advantech’s high quality-control standards and rigorous testing, most
customers never need to use our repair service. If an Advantech product is defective,
it will be repaired or replaced at no charge during the warranty period. For out-of-war-
ranty repairs, users will be billed according to the cost of replacement materials, ser-
vice time, and freight. Please consult your dealer for more details.
If you believe your product is defective, please follow the steps listed below.
1. Collect all information about the problem encountered (for example, CPU
speed, Advantech products used, other hardware and software used, etc.). Note
anything abnormal and list any onscreen messages encountered when the
problem occurs.
2. Call your dealer and describe the problem. Please have your manual, product,
and any relevant information readily available.
3. If your product is diagnosed as defective, obtain a return merchandise authori-
zation (RMA) number from your dealer. This allows us to process your return
more quickly.
4. Carefully pack the defective product, a completed Repair and Replacement
Order Card, and proof of the purchase date (such as a photocopy of your sales
receipt) in a shippable container. Products returned without a proof of purchase
date are not eligible for our warranty service.
5. Write the RMA number clearly on the outside of the package and ship the prod-
uct prepaid to your dealer.
