Support information
Your computer is backed by an International Traveler’s Warranty (ITW) that gives
you security and peace of mind when traveling. Our worldwide network of service
centers are there to give you a helping hand.
An ITW passport comes with your computer. This passport contains all you need
to know about the ITW program. A list of available, authorized service centers are
in this handy booklet. Read this passport thoroughly.
Note: Always have your ITW passport on hand, especially when you travel,
to receive the benefits from our support centers. Place your proof-of-
purchase in the flap located inside the front cover of the ITW passport.
If the country you are traveling in does not have an Acer-authorized ITW service
site, you can still get in contact with our offices worldwide.
For technical assistance and support in the United States and Canada, you can call
1-800-816-2237. You can also contact a local dealer or distributor in the country
you are traveling in for assistance.
To view support information, follow these steps:
