Section 1
WARRANTY
Monroe Electronics, Inc., warrants to the Owners, this instrument to be free from defects
in material and workmanship for a period of two years after shipment from the factory.
This warranty is applicable to the original purchaser only.
Liability under this warranty is limited to service, adjustment or replacement of defective
parts (other than tubes, fuses or batteries) on any instrument or sub-assembly returned
to the factory for this purpose, transportation prepaid.
This warranty does not apply to instruments or sub-assemblies subjected to abuse,
abnormal operating conditions, or unauthorized repair or modification.
Since Monroe Electronics, Inc. has no control over conditions of use, no warranty is
made or implied as to the suitability of our product for the customer’s intended use.
THIS WARRANTY SET FORTH IN THIS ARTICLE IS EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF
ALL OTHER WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR
STATUTORY INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS. Except for obligations expressly undertaken by
Monroe Electronics, in this Warranty, Owner hereby waives and releases all rights,
claims and remedies with respect to any and all guarantees, express, implied, or
statutory (including without limitation, the implied warranties of merchantability and
fitness), and including but without being limited to any obligation of Monroe Electronics
with respect to incidental or consequential damages, or damages for loss of use. No
agreement or understanding varying or extending the warranty will be binding upon
Monroe Electronics unless in writing signed by a duly authorized representative of
Monroe Electronics.
In the event of a breach of the foregoing warranty, the liability of Monroe Electronics
shall be limited to repairing or replacing the non-conforming goods and/or defective
work, and in accordance with the foregoing, Monroe Electronics shall not be liable for
any other damages, either direct or consequential.

RETURN POLICIES AND FACTORY REPAIR
PROCEDURES
Return authorization is required for factory repair work. Material being returned to the
factory for repair must have a Return Material Authorization number. To obtain an RMA
number, call 585-765-2254 and ask for Customer Service.
Material returned to the factory for warranty repair should be accompanied by a copy of
a dated invoice or bill of sale, which serves as a proof of purchase for the material.
Serial numbers, date codes and tamper proof stickers on our products also serve to
determine warranty status. Removal of these labels or tags may result in voiding a
product’s warranty.
Repairs will be returned promptly. Repairs are normally returned to the customer by
UPS within 10 to 15 working days after receipt by Monroe Electronics, Inc. Return (to
the customer) UPS charges will be paid by Monroe Electronics on warranty work.
Return (to the customer) UPS charges will be prepaid and added to invoice for out-ofwarranty repair work.
RETURN OF REPAIRED ITEMS:
Factory repairs will be returned to the customer by the customer’s choice of FedEx, DHL
or UPS. Warranty repairs will be returned via UPS ground. The customer may request
accelerated shipping via the previous mentioned carriers for both warranty and nonwarranty repairs. NOTE: Accelerated transportation expenses for all factory repairs will
always be at the expense of the customer despite the warranty status of the equipment.
FACTORY REPAIRS TO MODIFIED EQUIPMENT:
Material returned to the factory for repair that has been modified will not be tested unless
the nature and purpose of the modification is understood by us and does not render the
equipment untestable at our repair facility. We will reserve the right to deny service to
any modified equipment returned to the factory for repair regardless of the warranty
status of the equipment.
