1.0 WARRANTY INFORMATION
Patton Electronics warrants all Model 3P-MF Series components to be
free from defects, and will—at our option—repair or replace the product
should it fail within one year from the Þrst date of shipment.
This warranty is limited to defects in workmanship or materials, and does
not cover customer damage, abuse or unauthorized modiÞcation. If this
product fails or does not perform as warranted, your sole recourse shall
be repair or replacement as described above. Under no condition shall
Patton Electronics be liable for any damages incurred by the use of this
product. These damages include, but are not limited to, the following: lost
proÞts, lost savings and incidental or consequential damages arising
from the use of or inability to use this product. Patton Electronics spe-
ciÞcally disclaims all other warranties, expressed or implied, and the
installation or use of this product shall be deemed an acceptance of
these terms by the user.
1.1 RADIO AND TV INTERFERENCE
The Models 3P-MF and 3P-MF9 generate and use radio frequency
energy, and if not installed and used properly—that is, in strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions—may cause interference to
radio and television reception. The Models 3P-MF and 3P-MF9 have
been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A computing
device in accordance with the speciÞcations in Subpart J of Part 15 of
FCC rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection from
such interference in a commercial installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If the
Model 3P-MF or 3P-MF9 do cause interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the power off or disconnecting the RS-232 interface, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one of the following measures: moving the computing
equipment away from the receiver, re-orienting the receiving antenna
and/or plugging the receiving equipment into a different AC outlet (such
that the computing equipment and receiver are on different branches).
1.2 CE NOTICE
The CE symbol on your Patton Electronics equipment indicates that it is
in compliance with the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) directive
and the Low Voltage Directive (LVD) of the Union European (EU). A CertiÞcate of Compliance is available by contacting Patton Technical Support.
