Each and every Advantech product is built to the most exacting 
specifications to ensure reliable performance in the harsh and demanding 
conditions typical of industrial environments. Whether your new 
Advantech equipment is destined for the laboratory or the factory floor, 
you can be assured that your product will provide the reliability and ease 
of operation for which the name Advantech has come to be known. Your 
satisfaction is our primary concern. Here is a guide to Advantech’s 
customer services. To ensure you get the full benefit of our services, 
please follow the instructions below carefully. 
Technical support 
We want you to get the maximum performance from your products. So if 
you run into technical difficulties, we are here to help. For the most 
frequently asked questions, you can easily find answers in your product 
documentation. These answers are normally a lot more detailed than the 
ones we can give over the phone. 
So please consult this manual first. If you still cannot find the answer, 
gather all the information or questions that apply to your problem, and 
with the product close at hand, call your dealer. Our dealers are well 
trained and ready to give you the support you need to get the most from 
your Advantech products. In fact, most problems reported are minor and 
are able to be easily solved over the phone. 
In addition, free technical support is available from Advantech engineers 
every business day. We are always ready to give advice on application 
requirements or specific information on the installation and operation of 
any of our products.
