Product warranty
Advantech warrants to you, the original purchaser, that each of its
products will be free from defects in materials and workmanship
for one year from the date of purchase.
This warranty does not apply to any products that have been
repaired or altered by persons other than repair personnel autho-
rized by Advantech, or which have been subject to misuse, abuse,
accident or improper installation. Advantech assumes no liability
under the terms of this warranty as a consequence of such events.
Because of Advantech high quality-control standards and rigorous
testing, most of our customers never need to use our repair service.
If an Advantech product is defective, it will be repaired or re-
placed at no charge during the warranty period. For out-of-
warranty repairs, you will be billed according to the cost of
replacement materials, service time and freight. Please consult
your dealer for more details. If you think you have a defective
product, follow these steps:
1. Collect all the information about the problem encountered.
(For example, CPU speed, Advantech products used, other
hardware and software used, etc.) Note anything abnormal and
list any on- screen messages you get when the problem occurs.
2. Call your dealer and describe the problem. Please have your
manual, product, and any helpful information readily available.
3. If your product is diagnosed as defective, obtain an RMA
(return merchandize authorization) number from your dealer.
This allows us to process your return more quickly.
4. Carefully pack the defective product, a fully-completed Repair
and Replacement Order Card and a photocopy proof of
purchase date (such as your sales receipt) in a shippable
container. A product returned without proof of the purchase
date is not eligible for warranty service.
5. Write the RMA number visibly on the outside of the package
and ship it prepaid to your dealer.
