Registration and Warranty Information

Be sure to register your Symphony PCI card, either by filling in the enclosed Registration Card or by completing the
on-line registration form at our Web site: http://www.apogeedigital.com/support/. If you do so, Apogee can contact
you with any update information. As enhancements and upgrades are developed, you will be contacted at the
registration address. Firmware updates are free for the first year of ownership unless otherwise stated. Please
address any inquiries to your dealer or directly to Apogee at:

APOGEE ELECTRONICS CORPORATION,
1715 Berkeley St, Santa Monica, CA 90404, USA.
TEL: [phone], FAX: [phone]

APOGEE ELECTRONICS CORPORATION warrants this product to be free of defects in material and
manufacture under normal use for a period of 12 months. The term of this warranty begins on the date of sale to
the purchaser. Units returned for warranty repair to Apogee or an authorized Apogee warranty repair facility will
be repaired or replaced at the manufacturer’s option, free of charge.

ALL UNITS RETURNED TO APOGEE OR AN AUTHORIZED APOGEE REPAIR FACILITY MUST BE
PREPAID, INSURED AND PROPERLY PACKAGED, PREFERABLY IN THEIR ORIGINAL BOX. Apogee

reserves the right to change or improve design at any time without prior notification. Design changes are
not implemented retroactively, and the incorporation of design changes into future units does not imply the
availability of an upgrade to existing units.

APOGEE ELECTRONICS

This warranty is void if Apogee determines, in its sole business judgment, the defect to be the result of abuse,
neglect, alteration or attempted repair by unauthorized personnel.

The warranties set forth above are in lieu of all other warranties, expressed or implied, and Apogee specifically
disclaims any and all implied warranty of merchantability or of fitness for a particular purpose. The buyer
acknowledges and agrees that in no event shall the company be held liable for any special, indirect, incidental or
consequential damages, or for injury, loss or damage sustained by any person or property, that may result from
this product failing to operate correctly at any time.

USA: Some states do not allow for the exclusion or limitation of implied warranties or liability for incidental or
consequential damage, so the above exclusion may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal
rights, and you may have other rights which vary from state to state.

Service Information

The Symphony PCI card contains no user-serviceable components: refer to qualified service personnel for repair
or upgrade. Your warranty will be voided if you tamper with the internal components. If you have any questions
with regard to the above, please contact Apogee.

In the event your Symphony PCI card needs to be upgraded or repaired, it is necessary to contact Apogee prior
to shipping, and a Return Materials Authorization (RMA) number will be assigned. This number will serve as a
reference for you and helps facilitate and expedite the return process. Apogee requires that shipments be pre­paid and insured — unless otherwise authorized in advance.

IMPORTANT: ANY SHIPMENT THAT IS NOT PRE-PAID OR IS SENT WITHOUT AN RMA NUMBER WILL
NOT BE ACCEPTED.
