Liability Statement

Datamax-O’Neil does not accept liability for improperly mounted or poorly placed printers.

No Liability for Negligent Use: In no event shall Datamax-O’Neil be held liable for any damages whatsoever (including, without limitations, damages for loss of profits, business interruption, loss of information, or other pecuniary loss) arising out of negligence in use and care of the product.

Radio Frequency Interference: This equipment generates and can radiate radio frequency energy. If it is not installed and used in accordance with the user's guide, this energy may cause harmful interference to radio and television reception.

Software: Datamax-O’Neil warrants software will function in accordance with the user guide or written specifications provided with the software for ninety (90) days from date of shipment. If an item or software does not function as warranted, Datamax-O’Neil will, without charge, attempt to correct the software, the user guide, or the written specification.

For Vehicle Installations and Use

• Air bags deflate with great force. DO NOT place objects, including installed or portable wireless equipment, or printers in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.

• Position your device within easy reach. Be able to access your device without removing your eyes from the road.

• Do not take notes or use the device while driving. Jotting down a “to do” list or flipping through your address book takes attention away from your primary responsibility, driving safely.

• Datamax-O’Neil is not responsible for damages or injuries resulting from improper installation or use.
