Registration and Warranty Information

Be sure to register your AMBus HD card, either by filling in the enclosed Registration Card or by completing the 
on-line registration form at our Web site: http://www.apogeedigital.com/support/. If you do so, Apogee can contact 
you with any update information. As enhancements and upgrades are developed, you will be contacted at the 
registration address. Firmware updates are free for the first year of ownership unless otherwise stated. Please 
address any inquiries to your dealer or directly to Apogee at:

APOGEE ELECTRONICS CORPORATION, 
3145 Donald Douglas Loop South, Santa Monica, CA  90405, USA. 
TEL: (310) 915-1000, FAX: (310) 391-6262
email: [email protected]. Web: http://www.apogeedigital.com/

APOGEE ELECTRONICS CORPORATION warrants this product to be free of defects in material and 
manufacture under normal use for a period of 12 months. The term of this warranty begins on the date of sale to 
the purchaser. Units returned for warranty repair to Apogee or an authorized Apogee warranty repair facility will 
be repaired or replaced at the manufacturer’s option, free of charge. 

ALL UNITS RETURNED TO APOGEE OR AN AUTHORIZED APOGEE REPAIR FACILITY MUST BE 
PREPAID, INSURED AND PROPERLY PACKAGED, PREFERABLY IN THEIR ORIGINAL BOX

. Apogee 

reserves the right to change or improve design at any time without prior notification. Design changes are 
not implemented retroactively, and the incorporation of design changes into future units does not imply the 
availability of an upgrade to existing units.

This warranty is void if Apogee determines, in its sole business judgment, the defect to be the result of abuse, 
neglect, alteration or attempted repair by unauthorized personnel. 

The warranties set forth above are in lieu of all other warranties, expressed or implied, and Apogee specifically 
disclaims any and all implied warranty of merchantability or of fitness for a particular purpose. The buyer 
acknowledges and agrees that in no event shall the company be held liable for any special, indirect, incidental or 
consequential damages, or for injury, loss or damage sustained by any person or property, that may result from 
this product failing to operate correctly at any time. 

USA: Some states do not allow for the exclusion or limitation of implied warranties or liability for incidental or 
consequential damage, so the above exclusion may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal 
rights, and you may have other rights which vary from state to state. 

Service Information

The AMBus HD card contains no user-serviceable components: refer to qualified service personnel for repair or 
upgrade. Your warranty will be voided if you tamper with the internal components. If you have any questions with 
regard to the above, please contact Apogee. 

In the event your AMBus HD card needs to be upgraded or repaired, it is necessary to contact Apogee prior to 
shipping, and a Return Materials Authorization (RMA) number will be assigned. This number will serve as a 
reference for you and helps facilitate and expedite the return process. Apogee requires that shipments be pre-
paid and insured — unless otherwise authorized in advance. 

IMPORTANT: ANY SHIPMENT THAT IS NOT PRE-PAID OR IS SENT WITHOUT AN RMA NUMBER WILL 
NOT BE ACCEPTED.
