WARRANTY
The manufacturer warrants this product to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use
and service for the period of two years from date of purchase, except as hereinafter provided. This warranty
extends only to the original purchaser (a purchase from the manufacturer or a licensed distributor of the
manufacturer is an original purchase). This warranty shall not apply to fuses, batteries, or any product which has
been subject to misuse, neglect, accident, or abnormal conditions of operation.
In the event of failure of a product covered by this warranty, the manufacturer will repair the instrument when it
is returned by the purchaser, freight prepaid, to an authorized Service Facility within the applicable warranty
period, provided manufacturer’s examination discloses to its satisfaction that the product was defective. The
manufacturer may, at its option, replace the product in lieu of repair. With regard to any covered product
returned within the applicable warranty period, repairs or replacement will be made without charge and with
return freight paid by the manufacturer, unless the failure was caused by misuse, neglect, accident, or abnormal
conditions of operation or storage, in which case repairs will be billed at a reasonable cost. In such a case, an
estimate will be submitted before work is started, if requested.
THE FOREGOING WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS, OR
ADEQUACY FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR USE. THE MANUFACTURER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE
FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT,
