Carefully unpack the instrument, accessories, and
supplies and inspect them for shipping damage. Use the
enclosed packing list to verify that all items are received.
1.
If any item on the packing list appears to be missing
from your shipment, please search carefully through
and under all packing materials. If you don't find the
item, notify your receiving department immediately.
Advanced Instruments can only be responsible for
items reported missing within 10 days of a shipment
arrival.
2.
Save the shipping boxes and packaging material for
future use if transport of the instrument becomes
necessary.
3.
If you receive any damaged items, save the cartons
and packing material for inspection by the insurer.
You must notify both the dealer and Advanced
Instruments within 24 hours to ensure that your
warranty and insurance can be applied. Ask the
transportation company to inspect the items,
complete a “Report of Concealed Damage” and then
file your claim. Contact Advanced Instruments
immediately for repair or replacement of the items.

Complete the online warranty card to register your
