Rane AD 13 User Manual

1. WARRANTY EXPLANATION — PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

Rane offers a limited warranty, described in full on the Limited Warranty card included in the
packing materials, which covers both parts and labor necessary to repair any defects in the
manufacturing of your Rane product.

The warranty period is two (2) years, starting from either(i) the date of retail purchase, as noted
on either the sales slip from an authorized Rane dealer or on the warranty registration card sent,

in to the factory or, (ii) in the event no proof of purchase date is available, from the date of

manufacture, which is coded on the rear of the chassis.

If you send in the registration card according to the instructions on the card, or retain your sales

slip as proof of purchase, you will receive a full two (2) year warranty period from the date of

purchase, regardless of the date of manufacture. If you do not send in the registration card (“I

forgot.”), or you do not have a sales s1ip from an authorized Rane dealer (“My dog ate it.”), the
warranty period will only extend two (2) years from the date of manufacture.

All registered warranties are tracked by serial number, not by owner. Once your Rane product

is registered, it will be covered the full two years, regardless of any change in ownership.
Should you encounter any problems with your Rane product, be sure to contact either your

local Rane dealer or the Rane factory before taking it anywhere for repairs. We will help you to

identify and locate any specific malfunctions, possibly avoid needless shipment, or instruct
you as to the speediest method for authorized repair.
