speed, Advantech products used, other hardware and software used, etc.) Note
anything abnormal and list any onscreen messages when the problem occurs.
2. Call the dealer and describe the problem. Please have the manual, product, and
any helpful information readily available.
3. If the product is diagnosed as defective, obtain an RMA (return merchandise
authorization) number from the dealer. This allows us to process the return more
quickly.
4. Carefully pack the defective product, a fully-completed Repair and Replacement
Order Card and a photocopy proof of purchase date (like the sales receipt) in a
shippable container. A product returned without proof of the purchase date is not
