2. After Windows has nished registering the device you will have access to the HDD through the Image Manager software.

3. To load an image le to the RoboRacer SA’s HDD, start the Image Manager software.

4. The rst screen that will appear will be the image you see below. Select the “Manage Images” button located at the lower left corner of the screen.

Troubleshooting Image Manager

1. If the Image manager is not starting and the screen displays this Error message, please make sure that the duplicator is in USB Mode. The duplicator’s screen will display as “Leave USB Mode, Press ESC Key” while it is in USB Mode.

2. To make sure the duplicator has been properly installed in Windows, go to Device Manager and check to make sure that the devices highlighted below are being displayed without errors. Please note that the exact name of the device may be different. If the HDD belonging to the duplicator is not displayed, then the Image Manager program will display the above error.

If the HDD is being properly recognized in Windows, try exiting USB Mode and then scroll to the Setup menu, press ENTER and then scroll to the Format HDD submenu option and press ENTER to format the HDD. Please note that any information on the HDD will be erased. If the HDD needs to be reformatted, the reason may be because the power was cut while the drive was in use.

Aleratec, Inc., Limited Warranty

This Limited Warranty covers defects encountered in the course of normal use of this product and does not apply to damage from improper use, abuse, accidents, unauthorized service, or inadequate packaging when shipping the product to Aleratec, Inc.

Aleratec, Inc. provides the following limited warranty for this product only if the product was originally purchased for use, not re-sale, from Aleratec, Inc., an Aleratec, Inc. authorized dealer or distributor, or any other Aleratec, Inc. approved reseller for this product. This product is warranted to be free from defects in workmanship and material for a period of one year from the date of your original purchase.

Please Note:

This Warranty is valid only within the United States and Puerto Rico, and applies only to products that are new and unopened on the date of purchase. For areas outside the United States and Puerto Rico, contact the authorized dealer from whom you purchased this product to determine which warranty, if any, applies.

THIS LIMITED WARRANTY CONSTITUTES YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY, AND THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE LIABILITY OF ALERATEC, INC., AND IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OF ITEMS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Your sole remedy shall be repair or replacement, with new or refurbished components, as provided in this Limited Warranty. Aleratec, Inc. shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, special incidental products or consequential damages, including, but not limited to, any loss of data or loss of prots or business, regardless of the form of action or theory of liability resulting from any defect in, or use of, this product (even if Aleratec, Inc. has been advised of the possibility of such damages).

In any event, the liability of Aleratec, Inc. under this Limited Warranty, for damages to you or any third party, regardless of the form of action or theory of liability, shall not exceed the purchase price you paid for this product.

Some states do not allow limitations of the disclaimer of implied warranties, the period an implied warranty lasts, or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the exclusions and limitations stipulated in this Limited Warranty may not apply to you.

This warranty gives you specic legal rights; you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
