A Message to the Customer....

Advantech Customer Services

Each and every Advantech product is built to the most exacting

specifications to ensure reliable performance in the unusual and

demanding conditions typical of industrial environments. Wheth-

er your new Advantech equipment is destined for the laboratory

or the factory floor, you can be assured that it will provide the

reliability and ease of operation for which the name Advantech

has come to be known.

Your satisfaction is our number one 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. If you run into technical difficulties, we are here to

help. But please consult this manual first.

If you still can’t 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 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.

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 which have been

repaired or altered by other than repair personnel authorized by

Advantech, or which have been subject to misuse, abuse, accident

or improper installation. Advantech assumes no liability as a

consequence of such events under the terms of this Warranty.

Because of Advantech’s high quality-control standards and

rigorous testing, most of our customers never need to use our

repair and replacement service. If an Advantech product ever does

prove defective, it will be repaired 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

(e.g. type of PC, 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 other information readily available.

3. If your product is diagnosed as defective, obtain an RMA

(return material authorization) number from your dealer. This

allows us to process your return more quickly.

4. Carefully pack the defective product, a completely filled-out

Repair and Replacement Order Card and a photocopy of a

dated proof of purchase (such as your sales receipt) in a

shippable container. A product returned without dated proof of

purchase 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.
