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 persons other than repair personnel authorized

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.

If an Advantech product is defective, it will be repaired or replaced 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, 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 helpful 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 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.

carrier. After inspection, we will make arrangements to repair or

replace the unit.
