FCC/Warranty
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class A digital device, pursuant
to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area may cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be
responsible for correcting any interference.
Guarantee and Compensation
RGBlink provides a guarantee relating to perfect manufacturing as part of the legally stipulated
terms of guarantee. On receipt, the purchaser must immediately inspect all delivered goods for
damage incurred during transport, as well as for material and manufacturing faults. RGBlink must be
informed immediately in writing of any complaints.
The period of guarantee begins on the date of transfer of risks, in the case of special systems and
software on the date of commissioning, at latest 30 days after the transfer of risks. In the event of
justified notice of compliant, RGBlink can repair the fault or provide a replacement at its own discretion
within an appropriate period. If this measure proves to be impossible or unsuccessful, the purchaser can
demand a reduction in the purchase price or cancellation of the contract. All other claims, in particular
those relating to compensation for direct or indirect damage, and also damage attributed to the
operation of software as well as to other service provided by RGBlink, being a component of the system
or independent service, will be deemed invalid provided the damage is not proven to be attributed to
the absence of properties guaranteed in writing or due to the intent or gross negligence or part of
RGBlink.
If the purchaser or a third party carries out modifications or repairs on goods delivered by RGBlink, or if
the goods are handled incorrectly, in particular if the systems are commissioned operated incorrectly or if,
after the transfer of risks, the goods are subject to influences not agreed upon in the contract, all
guarantee claims of the purchaser will be rendered invalid. Not included in the guarantee coverage are
system failures which are attributed to programs or special electronic circuitry provided by the purchaser,
e.g. interfaces. Normal wear as well as normal maintenance are not subject to the guarantee provided by
RGBlink either.
The environmental conditions as well as the servicing and maintenance regulations specified in this
manual must be complied with by the customer.
