1. Introduction
Thank you for choosing this product. It is designed to give excellent performance and service for

This warranty provides you the assurance that the company will back its products when defects appear
within the warranty period. In some circumstances, the company also provides field improvements, often
without charge to the customer, even if the product is out of warranty. Should the equipment be abused,
or modified to change its performance beyond the factory specifications, the warranty will become void
and field improvements may be denied.
