16.0 - CR1100 Maintenance
The CR1100 device needs only a minimum of maintenance to operate. A few tips are given below for maintenance suggestions.
Cleaning the CR1100 Window
CR1100 window should be clean to allow the best performance of the device. The window is the clear plastic piece inside the head of
the reader. Do not touch the window. Your CR1100 uses CMOS technology that is much like a digital camera. A dirty window may
stop the CR1100 from reading barcodes.
If the window becomes dirty, clean it with a soft, non-abrasive cloth or a facial tissue (no lotions or additives) that has been moistened
with water. A mild detergent may be used to clean the window, but the window should be wiped with a water moistened cloth or
tissue after using the detergent.
Technical Support and Returns
For returns or technical support call Code Technical Support at [phone]. For all returns Code will issue an RMA number
which must be placed on the packing slip when the reader is returned. Visit codecorp.com/support/rma-request for more information.

17.0 - Warranty
The CR1100 carries a standard two year limited warranty as described herein. Extended warranty periods may be available with a CodeOne Service
Plan. Stand and Cables have a 30 day warranty period.
Limited Warranty. Code warrants each Code product against defects in materials and workmanship under normal use for the Warranty Coverage Term
applicable to the product as described at codecorp.com/support/warranty. If a hardware defect arises and a valid warranty claim is received by Code
during the Warranty Coverage Term, Code will either: i) repair a hardware defect at no charge, using new parts or parts equivalent
to new in performance and reliability; ii) replace the Code product with a product that is new or refurbished product with equivalent functionality
and performance, which may include replacing a product that is no longer available with a newer model product; or ii) in the case of failure with any
software, including embedded software included in any Code product, provide a patch, update, or other work around. All replaced products become the
property of Code. All warranty claims must be made using Code’s RMA process.
Exclusions. This warranty does not apply to: i) cosmetic damage, including but not limited to scratches, dents, and broken plastic; ii) damage resulting
from use with non-Code products or peripherals, including batteries, power supplies, cables, and docking station/cradles; iii) damage resulting from
accident, abuse, misuse, ood, re or other external causes, including damage caused by unusual physical or electrical stress, immersion in uids or
exposure to cleaning products not approved by Code, puncture, crushing, and incorrect voltage or polarity; iv) damage resulting from services performed
by anyone other than a Code authorized repair facility; v) any product that has been modified or altered; vi) any product on which the Code serial
number has been removed or defaced. If a Code Product is returned under a warranty claim and Code determines, in Code’s sole discretion, that the
warranty remedies do not apply, Code will contact Customer to arrange either: i) repair or replace the Product; or ii) return the Product to Customer, in
each case at Customer’s expense.
Non Warranty Repairs. Code warrants its repair/replacement services for ninety (90) days from the date of shipment of the repaired/replacement product
to the Customer. This warranty applies to repairs and replacements for: i) damage excluded from the limited warranty described above; and ii) Code
Products on which the limited warranty described above has expired (or will expire within such ninety (90) day warranty period). For repaired product
this warranty covers only the parts that were replaced during the repair and the labor associated with such parts.
No Extension of Term of Coverage. Product that is repaired or replaced, or for which a software patch, update, or other work around is provided, assumes
the remaining warranty of the original Code Product and does not extend the duration of the original warranty period.
Software and Data. Code is not responsible for backing up or restoring any of software, data, or configuration settings, or reinstalling any of the foregoing
on products repaired or replaced under this limited warranty.
Shipping and Turn Around Time. The estimated RMA turn-around time from receipt at Code’s facility to shipment of the repaired or replaced product to
Customer is ten (10) business days. An expedited turn-around time may apply to products covered under certain CodeOne Service Plans. Customer is
responsible for shipping and insurance charges for shipping Code Product to Code’s designated RMA facility and repaired or replaced product is
returned with shipping and insurance paid by Code. Customer is responsible for all applicable taxes, duties, and similar charges.
Transfer. If a customer sells a covered Code Product during the Warranty Coverage Term, then that coverage may be transferred to the new owner by
written notification from the original owner to Code Corporation at:
Code Service Center
434 West Ascension Way, Ste. 300
Murray, UT 84123
Limitation on Liability. Code’s performance as described herein shall be Code’s entire liability, and the Customer’s sole remedy, resulting from any
defective Code product. Any claim that Code has failed to perform its warranty obligations as described herein must be made within six (6) months of
the alleged failure. Code’s maximum liability related to its performance, or failure to perform, as described herein shall be limited to the amount paid by
Customer for the Code product that is subject to the claim. In no event will either party be liable for any lost profits, lost savings, incidental damage, or
other economic consequential damages. This is true even if the other party is advised of the possibility of such damages.
EXCEPT AS MAY BE OTHERWISE PROVIDED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE LIMITED WARRANTIES DESCRIBE HEREIN REPRESENT THE ONLY
WARRANTIES CODE MAKES WITH RESPECT TO ANY PRODUCT. CODE DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESSED OR
IMPLIED, ORAL OR WRITTEN, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
THE REMEDIES DESCRIBED HEREIN REPRESENT CUSTOMER’S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY, AND CODE’S ENTIRE RESPONSIBILITY, RESULTING
FROM ANY DEFECTIVE CODE PRODUCT.
CODE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO CUSTOMER (OR TO ANY PERSON OR ENTITY CLAIMING THROUGH CUSTOMER) FOR LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF
DATA, DAMAGE TO ANY EQUIPMENT WITH WHICH THE CODE PRODUCT INTERFACES (INCLUDING ANY MOBILE TELEPHONE, PDA, OR OTHER
COMPUTING DEVICES), OR FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN
ANY MANNER CONNECTED WITH THE PRODUCT, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION AND WHETHER OR NOT CODE HAS BEEN INFORMED
OF, OR OTHERWISE MIGHT HAVE ANTICIPATED, THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
