Chinrest Operation
The Chinrest assembly is a device that assists patient
alignment during measurement. It allows patients that have
difculty holding still during a measurement to have an
additional reference point for reducing movement. The Up/
Down Switch should be set on the table next to the unit so
that it is easily accessible to operate.
Note: The canthus marks on the side of the unit should be
aligned vertically near the apex of the eye.
To change the height of the chinrest: (Refer to Figure 1-7)
• Press the up button on the Up/Down Switch to move the
chinrest up
• Press the down button on the Up/Down Switch to move
the chinrest down.

Warranty
This product is warranted by Reichert, Inc. (“Reichert”) against defective material and workmanship under normal use for
a period of one year from the date of invoice to the original purchaser. (An authorized dealer shall not be considered an
original purchaser.) Under this warranty, Reichert’s sole obligation is to repair or replace the defective part or product at
Reichert’s discretion.
This warranty applies to new products and does not apply to a product that has been tampered with, altered in any way,
misused, damaged by accident or negligence, or that has the serial number removed, altered or effaced. Nor shall this
warranty be extended to a product installed or operated in a manner not in accordance with the applicable Reichert
instruction manual, nor to a product that has been sold, serviced, installed or repaired other than by a Reichert factory,
Technical Service Center, or authorized Reichert, Inc. dealer.
Lamps, bulbs, charts, cards and other expendable items are not covered by this warranty.
All claims under this warranty must be in writing directed to the Reichert factory, Technical Service Center, or authorized
instrument dealer making the original sale and must be accompanied by a copy of the purchaser’s invoice.
This warranty is in lieu of all other warranties implied or expressed. All implied warranties of merchantability or tness for
a particular use are hereby disclaimed. No representative or other person is authorized to make any other obligations for
Reichert. Reichert shall not be liable for any special, incidental, or consequent damages for any negligence, breach of
warranty, strict liability or any other damages resulting from or relating to design, manufacture, sale, use or handling of the
product.
PATENT WARRANTY
If notied promptly in writing of any action brought against the purchaser based on a claim that the instrument infringes
a U.S. Patent, Reichert will defend such action at its expense and will pay costs and damages awarded in any such
action, provided that Reichert shall have sole control of the defense of any such action with information and assistance (at
Reichert’s expense) for such defense, and of all negotiation for the settlement and compromise thereof.
PRODUCT CHANGES
Reichert reserves the right to make changes in design or to make additions to or improvements in its products without
obligation to add such to products previously manufactured.
CLAIMS FOR SHORTAGES
We use extreme care in selection, checking, rechecking and packing to eliminate the possibility of error. If any shipping
errors are discovered:
1. Carefully go through the packing materials to be sure nothing was inadvertently overlooked when the unit was
unpacked.
2. Call the dealer you purchased the product from and report the shortage. The materials are packed at the factory and
none should be missing if the box has never been opened.
3. Claims should be led within 30 days.
CLAIMS FOR DAMAGES IN TRANSIT
Our shipping responsibility ceases with the safe delivery in good condition to the transportation company. Claims for loss
or damage in transit should be made promptly and directly to the transportation company.
If, upon delivery, the outside of the packing case shows evidence of rough handling or damage, the transportation
company’s agent should be requested to make a “Received in Bad Order” notation on the delivery receipt. If within 48
hours of delivery, concealed damage is noted upon unpacking the shipment and no exterior evidence of rough handling
is apparent, the transportation company should be requested to make out a “Bad Order” report. This procedure is
necessary in order for the dealer to maintain the right of recovery from the carrier.
