The system you have purchased is covered under a one year limited warranty that extends to all

The warranty is conditioned upon your proper maintenance and operation under normal use as
outlined in the User’s Manual that was provided along with the system. The warranty does not
cover shortcomings that are due to the design, nor does it cover any form of incidental damage
as a result of errors in the measurements.
SonTek, a Division of YSI Inc. will repair and/or replace, at its sole option, any product estab-
lished to be defective, with a product of like type. CLAIMS FOR LABOR COSTS AND/OR
