YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
Before receiving warranty service, Biopod or its agents may require that you furnish proof of purchase details, respond to questions designed to assist with diagnosing potential issues and follow Biopod's procedures
for obtaining warranty service. DURING WARRANTY SERVICE IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE CONTENTS OF THE Biopod PRODUCT’S STORAGE MEDIA WILL BE LOST, REPLACED OR REFORMATTED. IN SUCH AN
EVENT BIOPOD AND ITS AGENTS ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LOSS OF SOFTWARE PROGRAMS, DATA OR OTHER INFORMATION CONTAINED ON THE STORAGE MEDIA OR ANY OTHER PART OF THE
Biopod PRODUCT SERVICED.
Following warranty service your Biopod Product or a replacement device will be returned to you as your Biopod Product was configured when originally purchased, subject to applicable updates. You will be
responsible for reinstalling all other software programs, data and information. Recovery and reinstallation of other software programs, data and information are not covered under this Warranty.
WHAT WILL Biopod DO IN THE EVENT THE WARRANTY IS BREACHED?
If during the Warranty Period you submit a claim to Biopod or an AASP in accordance with this warranty, Biopod will, at its option:
(i) repair the Biopod Product using new or previously used parts that are equivalent to new in performance and reliability,
(ii) replace the Biopod Product with the same model (or with your consent a product that has similar functionality) formed from new and/or previously used parts that are equivalent to new in performance and
reliability, or
(iii) exchange the Biopod Product for a refund of your purchase price.
Biopod may request that you replace certain user-installable parts or Biopod Products. A replacement part or Biopod Product, including a user-installable part that has been installed in accordance with instructions
provided by Biopod, assumes the remaining term of the Warranty or ninety (90) days from the date of replacement or repair, whichever provides longer coverage for you. When a Biopod Product or part is replaced
or a refund provided, any replacement item becomes your property and the replaced or refunded item becomes Biopod's property.
HOW TO OBTAIN WARRANTY SERVICE?
Please access and review the online help resources described below before seeking warranty service. If the Biopod Product is still not functioning properly after making use of these resources, please contact an
Biopod representative or, if applicable, an Biopod owned retail store ("Biopod Retail") or AASP, using the information provided below. An Biopod representative or AASP will help determine whether your
Biopod Product requires service and, if it does, will inform you how Biopod will provide it. When contacting Biopod via telephone, other charges may apply depending on your location.
Online information with details on obtaining warranty service is provided below.
WARRANTY SERVICE OPTIONS
Biopod will provide warranty service through one or more of the following options:
(i) Carry-in service. You may return your Biopod Product to your original Retailer or AASP location oering carry-in service. Service will be performed at the location, or the Retailer or an AASP may send your
Biopod Product to an Biopod Repair Service (“ARS”) location to be serviced. Once you are notified that service is complete, you will retrieve the Biopod Product from the Biopod Retail or AASP location without d
elay unless Biopod notifies you that the Biopod Product will be sent directly to your location from the ARS location.
(ii) Mail-in service. If Biopod determines that your Biopod Product is eligible for mail-in service, Biopod will send you prepaid waybills and if applicable, packaging material and instructions on how to properly
pack and address your Biopod product, so that you may ship your Biopod Product to an ARS or AASP location. Instructions may be sent to you via email or in hard copy with the packaging material. Once service is
complete, the ARS or AASP location will return the Biopod Product to you. Biopod will pay for shipping to and from your location if all instructions regarding the method of packaging and shipping the Biopod
Product are followed.
(iii) Do-it-yourself (DIY) parts service. DIY parts service allows you to service your own Biopod Product. If DIY parts service is available in the circumstances, the following process will apply.
(a) Service where Biopod requires return of the replaced Biopod Product or part. Biopod may require a credit card authorization as security for the retail price of the replacement Biopod Product or part and
applicable shipping costs. If you are unable to provide credit card authorization, DIY parts service may not be available to you and Biopod will oer alternative arrangements for service. Biopod will ship a
replacement Biopod Product or part to you with installation instructions, if applicable, and any requirements for the return of the replaced Biopod Product or part. If you follow the instructions, Biopod will cancel
the credit card authorization, so you will not be charged for the Biopod Product or part and shipping to and from your location. If you fail to return the replaced Biopod Product or part as instructed or return a
replaced product or part that is ineligible for service, Biopod will charge your credit card for the authorized amount.
(b) Service where Biopod does not require return of the replaced Biopod Product or part. Biopod will ship you free of charge a replacement Biopod Product or part accompanied by instructions on installation, if
applicable, and any requirements for the disposal of the replaced Biopod Product or part.
(c) Biopod is not responsible for any labor costs you incur relating to DIY parts service. Should you require further assistance, contact Biopod at the telephone number listed below.
Biopod reserves the right to change the method by which Biopod may provide warranty service to you, and your Biopod Product’s eligibility to receive a particular method of service. Service will be limited to the
options available in the country where service is requested. Service options, parts availability and response times may vary according to country. You may be responsible for shipping and handling charges if the
Biopod Product cannot be serviced in the country it is in. If you seek service in a country that is not the country of purchase, you will comply with all applicable import and export laws and regulations and be r
esponsible for all custom duties, V.A.T. and other associated taxes and charges. For international service, Biopod may repair or replace Biopod Products and parts with comparable Biopod Products and parts that
comply with local standards.

Section 2 – Cable & Tube Routing
Carefully remove tape from any components, and unravel all cables. All unraveled cables must be properly routed now:
Step 1.
The 3 cables and 2 tubes that must be properly routed through the base are:
Light cable (White cable)
Temp/Humidity sensor (Gray cable)
Camera cable (Black cable)
Two misting tubes (Thin clear tubes)
Step 2.
The Light (LED) Cable and the left misting tube must be routed through the bottom left corner of the base. The Temp/Humidity
sensor cable, Camera cable, and right misting tube must be routed through the bottom right of the base.
Heating cables & NTC Cable – The two heating cables (blue and black), and the NTC Cable has stoppers attached. These will
also go inside the Biopod tank, leave them hanging like shown in Fig 3. Below.

PART 3 – CABLE INSERTION AND INNER TANK
The next steps involve some of the inner tank assembly. Many of these parts fit together tightly, and require the tank to be
stabilized and held in place. This part of the assembly will require two people. The assembly is dierent depending on your
Biopod model. The One, Terra and Grand for example are quite similar in this assembly. The Aqua and Aqua II are much dierent.
Section 5 – Insertion of components into tank
In this step, nine components must be inserted into the back of the Biopod glass. Place the Biopod tank on top of the completed
base. The back of the Biopod should face you.

Now that all the components have been inserted into the Biopod tank, the next step is to install the living wall. There are
separate steps here if you have an Aqua or Aqua II model. The living wall comes pre-assembled, but may come apart
during shipping. Should this happen, carefully re-attach the pieces together as they can have sharp edges.
PART 2 - INSTALLING THE LIVING WALL
[Aqua and Aqua II models only]: If you have an Aqua or Aqua II model, they come with their own base. For the following
example in Fig 31. an Aqua base is shown. The Aqua II base looks much dierent but the concept of installation is the
same. If you have an Aqua or Aqua II model - skip to step 3
