Exergen Corporation warrants each new Exergen TemporalScanner 2000 Series (except battery) against 
defects in materials or workmanship for a period of three years from the date of purchase, and agrees to 
repair or replace any defective product without charge.

IMPORTANT: This warranty does not cover damage resulting from accident, misuse or abuse, lack of 
reasonable care, the affixing of any attachment not provided with the product or loss of parts or subjecting 
the product to any but the specified battery.* Use of unauthorized replacement parts will void this warranty.

Exergen Corporation will not pay for warranty service performed by a nonauthorized repair service and will 
not reimburse the customer for damage resulting from warranty service performed by a non-authorized 
repair service. No responsibility is assumed for any special, incidental or consequential damages.

In order to obtain warranty service, simply call Exergen Corporation Customer Service, 617-923-9900,

to Exergen in accordance with the instructions given with the RMA number. It is suggested that for your 
protection, you ship the product, insurance prepaid. Damage occurring during shipment is not covered by 
this warranty.

NOTE: No other warranty, written or verbal, is authorized by Exergen Corporation. This warranty gives you 
specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state. Some states do 
not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above exclusion and
