guarantee covers both parts and labour. Service under the guarantee is only provided upon
presentation of reasonable evidence that the date of the claim is within the guarantee period

The guarantee is not valid if the defect is due to accidental damage, misuse or neglect and in
the case of alterations or repair carried out by unauthorised persons. A number of exceptions
to the warranty are listed in the ‘Exceptions to warranty’ section below. Service (during and
after guarantee period) is available in all countries where the product is distributed by

Exceptions to warranty
i. Over-voltage damage
This warranty does not cover damage to the programmer due to voltages beyond the
specified voltage limits being applied to the ‘DC Power Input’ or the ‘Target Connector’.
The user must ensure that sufficient care is taken to avoid over-voltage and static
conditions on any of the ‘Target Connector’ I/O pins.
ii. Over-current damage
This warranty does not cover damage to the programmer due to excessive current being
drawn from the programmer power supply. The user must ensure that there is sufficient
over-current protection within the test fixture to protect against short circuit loads.
iii. Short-circuit damage
This warranty does not cover damage to the programmer due to short-circuit loads being
placed across programmer I/O lines.
