iSys - The Imaging Systems Group Inc. (iSys) warrants the iTerra Elite ll (Product) to be free from defects in materials and workmanship and will remedy any such defect according to the terms of this Limited Warranty.

iSys warrants the Product to be free from defects in material and workmanship occurring under normal usage, within the normal operating range and duty cycles specified. If the iSys Customer Service Representative Department receives notice of such defects during the warranty period, iSys at its option, and within a reasonable time, will repair or replace the defective Product. A certified iSys service representative shall perform repairs, and such repairs, at the option of iSys, may be performed at the customer site, a dealer site, a service depot or the factory. Replacement Product, at the option of iSys, may be either new or equivalent in performance to new. Delivery is defined by a signed and dated receipt from the original carrier or iSys dealer delivering the Product, or down time for repair and replacement.

iSys does not warrant the operation of the Product to be uninterrupted or error free. iSys assumes no liability for and holds itself harmless against any claims of consequential costs or damages which may arise from interruption or error in the operation of the Product.

iSys does not warrant defects, malfunctions and/or failures, which in its opinion, result from conditions of improper use, abuse, neglect, operation outside the published environmental specifications, improper site preparation and maintenance, the use of unqualified or unauthorized media (papers, films, toners, inks, fusers or belts), inadequate preventative maintenance, unauthorized modifications or unauthorized maintenance. Such conditions shall render this warranty void and otherwise release iSys from its liability under this Product warranty. Consumables are non-warranty items.

4. Safety Information

120 Volt Models

Your iSys product has been carefully designed to give you years of safe, reliable performance. As with all electrical equipment, there are a few basic precautions you should take to avoid hurting yourself or damaging the product.

Save all provided documentation for future reference.

Read and follow all warning and instruction labels on the product itself.

Unplug the product before you clean it. Use only a damp cloth; do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.

Place your product on a firm, solid surface. If placed on something unsteady, it may fall and be damaged. If placed on a soft surface, the vents may be blocked, causing the product to overheat.

Protect your product from overheating. Make sure no obstructions block the openings of the product. Do not put the product on or near a heat source (such as a radiator or heat register). Keep the product out of direct sunlight.

Always use this product in a well ventilated area. Allow enough room around the product for adequate ventilation and easy access to the paper trays. If the product is placed in any kind of enclosure, make sure the enclosure is well ventilated.

Do not use the product near water. Do not spill liquid of any kind on it.

Be certain that your power source matches the rating listed on the back of the product. If you are not sure, check with your dealer or local power company.

Do not connect this product to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

Your product has a grounded, three-prong plug as a safety feature. This plug only fits into a grounded outlet. If the plug does not fit, the outlet may be an older, non-grounded type. Contact an electrician to have the outlet replaced. Do not use an adapter to defeat the grounding.

Install the product near an easily accessible power outlet.

Avoid damaging the power cord. Do not put anything on it or place it where it will be walked on. If the cord becomes damaged or frayed, replace it immediately.

If you are using an extension cord or power bar with the product, make sure the total amperes required by all the equipment on the extension is less than the extension’s rating. The total ratings of all equipment plugged into the outlet should not exceed 15 amperes.

Do not poke anything in the ventilation slots of the product. You could get an electrical shock or cause hazardous electrical arcing, which could cause a fire.

Aside from the routine maintenance described in the documentation, do not try to service the product yourself. Removing the cover may expose you to shocks or other hazards.

Do not make any adjustments other than those outlined in the documentation. You may cause damage that will require extensive repair work. The provided documentation explains how to get your product serviced by qualified iSys technicians. If anything happens that indicating your product is not working properly or has been damaged, unplug it immediately and follow the procedures in the provided documentation for having your product serviced.

Here are some of the things to look for.

The power cord or plug is frayed or damaged.

Liquid has been spilled into the product, or the product has been exposed to water.

The product has been dropped, or the cabinet is damaged.

The product does not function normally when following the operating instructions.
