Returning a Product for Service or Repair
If you need to return a LeCroy product, identify it by its model and serial numbers. Describe the
defect or failure, and give us your name and telephone number.
For factory returns, use a Return Authorization Number (RAN), which you can get from customer
service. Write the number clearly on the outside of the shipping carton.
Return products requiring only maintenance to your local customer service center.
If you need to return your scope for any reason, use the original shipping carton. If this is not
possible, be sure to use a rigid carton. The scope should be packed so that it is surrounded by a
minimum of four inches (10 cm) of shock absorbent material.
Within the warranty period, transportation charges to the factory will be your responsibility.
Products under warranty will be returned to you with transport prepaid by LeCroy. Outside the
warranty period, you will have to provide us with a purchase order number before the work can be
done. You will be billed for parts and labor related to the repair work, as well as for shipping.
You should prepay return shipments. LeCroy cannot accept COD (Cash On Delivery) or Collect
Return shipments. We recommend using air freight.
Technical Support
You can get assistance with installation, calibration, and a full range of software applications from
your customer service center. Visit the LeCroy Web site at http://www.lecroy.com for the center
nearest you.
Staying Up-to-Date
To maintain your instrument’s performance within specifications, have us calibrate it at least once a
year. LeCroy offers state-of-the-art performance by continually refining and improving the
instrument’s capabilities and operation. We frequently update both firmware and software during
service, free of charge during warranty.
You can also install new purchased software options in your scope yourself, without having to
18 WM-OM-E Rev I
X-Stream Operator’s Manual
return it to the factory. Simply provide us with your instrument serial number and ID, and the version
number of instrument software installed. We will provide you with a unique option key that consists
of a code to be entered through the Utilities' Options dialog to load the software option.

Product or Documentation.
WM-OM-E Rev I 21
You may not alter or remove any printed or on-screen
3.3 Confidentiality. Except for the specific rights granted by this EULA, neither party shall use or
disclose any Confidential Information (as defined below) of the other party without the written
consent of the disclosing party. A party receiving Confidential Information from the other shall use
the highest commercially reasonable degree of care to protect the Confidential Information,
including ensuring that its employees and consultants with access to such Confidential Information
have agreed in writing not to disclose the Confidential Information. You shall bear the responsibility
for any breaches of confidentiality by your employees and consultants. Within ten (10) days after
request of the disclosing party, and in the disclosing party's sole discretion, the receiving party shall
either return to the disclosing party originals and copies of any Confidential Information and all
information, records and materials developed therefrom by the receiving party, or destroy the same,
other than such Confidential Information as to which this EULA expressly provides a continuing
right to the receiving party to retain at the time of the request. Either party may only disclose the
general nature, but not the specific financial terms, of this EULA without the prior consent of the

party shall use reasonable efforts to (a) promptly notify the disclosing party in writing of such
requirement to disclose, and (b) cooperate fully with the disclosing party in protecting against any
such disclosure or obtaining a protective order. Money damages will not be an adequate remedy if
this Section 4.3 is breached and, therefore, either party shall, in addition to any other legal or

Information” means LeCroy pricing or information concerning new LeCroy products, trade secrets
(including without limitation all internal header information contained in or created by the Software
Product, all benchmark and performance test results and all Documentation) and other proprietary
information of LeCroy; and any business, marketing or technical information disclosed by LeCroy,
or its representatives, or you in relation to this EULA, and either (i) disclosed in writing and marked
as confidential at the time of disclosure or (ii) disclosed in any other manner such that a reasonable
person would understand the nature and confidentiality of the information. Confidential Information
does not include information (A) already in the possession of the receiving party without an
obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing party, (B) hereafter rightfully furnished to the receiving
party by a third party without a breach of any separate nondisclosure obligation to the disclosing
party, (C) publicly known without breach of this EULA, (d) furnished by the disclosing party to a third
party without restriction on subsequent disclosure, or (e) independently developed by the receiving
party without reference to or reliance on the Confidential Information.
4. TERMINATION.
This EULA will remain in force until termination pursuant to the terms hereof. You may terminate
this EULA at any time. This EULA will also terminate if you breach any of the terms or conditions of
this EULA. You agree that if this EULA terminates for any reason, the License will immediately
terminate and you will destroy all copies of the Software Product (and all Derivatives), installed or
otherwise, the Documentation, and the Confidential Information (and all derivatives of any of the
foregoing) that are in your possession or under your control. The provisions of Sections 1.3, 4, 6, 7,
8, and 9 will survive any termination or expiration hereof.

Virus Protection
Because your scope runs on a Windows-based PC platform, it must be protected from viruses, as
with any PC on a corporate network. It is crucial that the scope be kept up to date with Windows
Critical Updates, and that anti-virus software be installed and continually updated.
Visit http://www.lecroy.com/dsosecurity for more information regarding Windows Service Pack
compatibility with LeCroy operating software, and related matters.
Warranty
The instrument is warranted for normal use and operation, within specifications, for a period of one
year from shipment. LeCroy will either repair or, at our option, replace any product returned to one
of our authorized service centers within this period. However, in order to do this we must first
examine the product and find that it is defective due to workmanship or materials and not due to
misuse, neglect, accident, or abnormal conditions or operation.
LeCroy shall not be responsible for any defect, damage, or failure caused by any of the following: a)
attempted repairs or installations by personnel other than LeCroy representatives, or b) improper
connection to incompatible equipment or c) for any damage or malfunction caused by the use of
non-LeCroy supplies. Furthermore, LeCroy shall not be obligated to service a product that has
been modified or integrated where the modification or integration increases the task duration or
difficulty of servicing the oscilloscope. Spare and replacement parts, and repairs, all have a 90-day
warranty.
The oscilloscope’s firmware has been thoroughly tested and is presumed to be functional.
Nevertheless, it is supplied without warranty of any kind covering detailed performance. Products
not made by LeCroy are covered solely by the warranty of the original equipment manufacturer.
