PART-7 WARRANTY AND SERVICE 

 

7.1 WARRANTY 

The manufacturer provides one year warranty on all products, free of charge, but the users 
should be responsible for the one-way transportation fee from the customer to the factory. 

 

7.2 SERVICE 

The manufacturer provides instrument installation for our customers, and the charges will be 
made according the cost. 

(1)

 

For any hardware failure of the instrument, we recommend that our customers send back 
the instrument to our factory for service, due to the fact that the instrument is made of 
microprocessors and it will be difficult to perform field maintenance. Before sending 
back the instrument, please try to contact the factory first to make sure what the problem 
is.  

(2)

 

For other operational problems, please contact our local distributor by telephone, fax or 
email. In most cases, the problem could be solved immediately.
