Symetrix does not authorize any third party, including any dealer or

This limited warranty gives the buyer certain rights. You may have

this warranty.

Limitation of Liability

The total liability of Symetrix on any claim, whether in contract,

Servicing Your Symetrix Product

If you have determined that your Symetrix product requires repair 
services and you live outside of the United States please contact your 
local Symetrix dealer or distributor for instructions on how to obtain 
service. If you reside in the U.S. then proceed as follows:

Return Authorization

At the Symetrix factory, Symetrix will perform in-warranty or out-of-
warranty service on any product it has manufactured for a period of 

three (3) years from date of discontinued manufacture.
Before sending anything to Symetrix, please contact our Customer 

Service Department for a Return Authorization (RA) number. The 

telephone number is +1.425.778.7728. Additionally, support is available 

via the web site: http://support.symetrix.co.

In-warranty Repairs

To get your Symetrix product repaired under the terms of the warranty:

1.  Call us for an RA number (have the serial number, shipping and 

contact information and description of the problem ready).

2.  Pack the device in its original packaging materials.

3.  Include your name, address, daytime telephone number, and a brief 

statement of the problem.

4.  Write the RA number on the 

outside

 of the box.

5.  Ship the device to Symetrix, freight prepaid. We do not accept freight 

collect shipments.

Just do these five things, and repairs made in-warranty will cost you 
only one way freight charges. We’ll pay the return freight.
If you don’t have the factory packaging materials, we recommend using 
an oversize box. Wrap the device in a plastic bag, surround it with 
bubble-wrap, and place it in the box surrounded by Styrofoam peanuts. 

Be sure there is enough clearance in the box to protect the rack ears. 

We won’t return the device in anything but Symetrix packaging for 
which we will have to charge you. If the problem is due to operator 
misuse or error, you will have to pay for both parts and labor. In any 
event, if there are charges for the repair, you will pay for the return 
freight. Payment for all charges must be pre-arranged (prepaid, Visa or 

Mastercard).

Out-of-warranty Repairs

If the warranty period has passed, you’ll be billed for all necessary 
parts, labor, packaging materials, and freight charges. Please 
remember, you must call for an RA number before sending the device 
to Symetrix.
