AMX Limited Warranty and Disclaimer

AMX Corporation warrants its products to be free of defects in material and workmanship under normal use for three

(3) years from the date of purchase from AMX Corporation, with the following exceptions:

• Electroluminescent and LCD Control Panels are warranted for three (3) years, except for the display and touch
overlay components that are warranted for a period of one (1) year.

• Disk drive mechanisms, pan/tilt heads, power supplies, and MX Series products are warranted for a period of one
(1) year.

• AMX Lighting products are guaranteed to switch on and off any load that is properly connected to our lighting
products, as long as the AMX Lighting products are under warranty. AMX Corporation does guarantee the
control of dimmable loads that are properly connected to our lighting products. The dimming performance or
quality cannot be guaranteed due to the random combinations of dimmers, lamps and ballasts or transformers.

• Unless otherwise specified, OEM and custom products are warranted for a period of one (1) year.

• AMX Software is warranted for a period of ninety (90) days.

• Batteries and incandescent lamps are not covered under the warranty.

This warranty extends only to products purchased directly from AMX Corporation or an Authorized AMX Dealer.

All products returned to AMX require a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number. The RMA number is

obtained from the AMX RMA Department. The RMA number must be clearly marked on the outside of each box.

The RMA is valid for a 30-day period. After the 30-day period the RMA will be cancelled. Any shipments received

not consistent with the RMA, or after the RMA is cancelled, will be refused. AMX is not responsible for products

returned without a valid RMA number.

AMX Corporation is not liable for any damages caused by its products or for the failure of its products to perform.

This includes any lost profits, lost savings, incidental damages, or consequential damages. AMX Corporation is not

liable for any claim made by a third party or by an AMX Dealer for a third party.

This limitation of liability applies whether damages are sought, or a claim is made, under this warranty or as a tort

claim (including negligence and strict product liability), a contract claim, or any other claim. This limitation of

liability cannot be waived or amended by any person. This limitation of liability will be effective even if AMX Corpo-

ration or an authorized representative of AMX Corporation has been advised of the possibility of any such damages.

This limitation of liability, however, will not apply to claims for personal injury.

Some states do not allow a limitation of how long an implied warranty last. Some states do not allow the limitation or

exclusion of incidental or consequential damages for consumer products. In such states, the limitation or exclusion of

the Limited Warranty may not apply. This Limited Warranty gives the owner specific legal rights. The owner may

also have other rights that vary from state to state. The owner is advised to consult applicable state laws for full

determination of rights.

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS WARRANTY, AMX CORPORATION MAKES NO

OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF

MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. AMX CORPORATION

EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES NOT STATED IN THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. ANY

IMPLIED WARRANTIES THAT MAY BE IMPOSED BY LAW ARE LIMITED TO THE TERMS OF THIS

LIMITED WARRANTY.

Safety Instructions

9. Moving the Product - A product and cart combination must be moved with care. Quick stops,

excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the product and cart combination to tip or

overturn.

10. Power Sources - Operate this product only from the type of power source indicated by the

product documentation or by a marking label on the product. If you are not sure if the power

source in your home or building is correct for the product, consult your product dealer or local

power company. For products intended for operation from battery power or other sources, refer

to the operating instructions.

11. Grounding or Polarization - This product is shipped with a three-wire grounding-type plug, a

plug having a third (grounding) pin. This plug will only fit into a grounding-type power outlet

that is designed for use with this plug. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the

plug into the outlet, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete or incorrect outlet. Do not

defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.

12. Power Cord Protection - Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be

walked on or pinched by items placed on or against them. Pay particular attention to cords at

plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.

13. Protective Attachment Plug - If the product is equipped with an attachment plug with

overload protection, refer to the manufacturer's instructions for replacement or resetting of this

protective device. If replacement of the plug is required, make sure the service technician has

used a replacement plug specified by the manufacturer that has the same overload protection as

the original plug.

Use the same bonded-ground as the house. Refer to the FIG. 1 on page c for more
information.

14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the

product, make sure the antenna or cable system is grounded to provide some protection against

voltage surges and built-up static charges (FIG. 1). Article 810 of the National Electrical Code,

ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information regarding proper grounding of the mast and supporting

structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to the antenna discharge unit, size of grounding

conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and

requirements for the grounding electrode.

16. Power Lines - An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead

power lines or other electrical light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines

or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care must be taken to keep

from touching such power lines or circuits, as contact with them might be fatal.

receptacles, as this can result in a risk of fire or electrical shock.

as they may contact dangerous voltage points or short out parts, resulting in a fire or electrical

shock. Never spill any kind of liquid on this product.

may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service

personnel.
