  WARRANTY INFORMATION

WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF A PROBLEM WITH THE 

ARIS EXPLORER

Sound Metrics Corp. (SMC) warrants the ARIS Explorer 
for one year according to the terms of the official  
warranty document.  If the sonar appears to be defective 
please contact SMC by email or phone to discuss 
your options.  In many cases we can help resolve  
issues without having to return the unit, but if not, 
SMC pledges to repair your sonar as quickly as possible.  
For sonar returns, you need to contact SMC for a “Case 
Number” and provide details of the problem(s) - this 
allows us to prepare so your sonar can be repaired 
and returned to you quickly.  We ask that you ship the  
sonar in its original protective storage case.  If still  
under warranty the unit will be repaired and returned 
to you at no cost; otherwise you will be charged for 
parts, labor and return shipping.  We will provide you 
with an estimate of any repair and wait for approval 
before proceeding with the work.

In most cases, it is not advisable to open or attempt 
to repair the sonar in the field.  However, this may be 
the only option if time is critical.  SMC is best qualified 
to make that determination and our personnel can  
provide step-by-step instructions if that is determined 
to be the best course of action.  Your warranty may 
be void if you attempt such servicing without first  
contacting SMC.
