Spectra Assembly  Guide  3

White’s reputation has been built on quality products backed by quality service. 
Our Factory Authorized Service Centers are factory trained and equipped. They 
offer the same quality service as the factory. Service before and after the sale is 
the cornerstone of our customer relations.

 

a.

 Contact your Dealer. There may be a quick, simple fix or explanation 

that will prevent having to send the detector in for service.
 

b.

 Double check the obvious, such as batteries, and try the detector in 

another area to be sure there isn’t interference.
 

c.

 Be sure to send all necessary parts with your detector, such as 

batteries and holders, as these items can result in symptoms. 

Before shipping detectors for service -
 

• 

 Always include a letter of explanation about your concerns, even if 

you have talked to the Service Center by telephone.
 

•  

Take care in packaging instruments for shipping. Always insure your 

package.

 

(USA) Warranty

If within two years (24 months) from the original date of purchase, your White’s 
detector fails due to defects in either material or workmanship, White’s will repair 
or replace at its option, all necessary parts without charge for parts or labor.

Simply return the complete detector to the Dealer where you purchased it, or to 
your nearest Authorized Service Center. 

The unit must be accompanied by a detailed explanation of the symptoms of the 
failure. You must provide proof of date-of-purchase before the unit is serviced. 

This is a transferable manufacturer warranty, which covers the instrument two 
years from the original purchase date, regardless of the owner. 

Items excluded from the warranty are non-rechargeable batteries, accessories 
that are not standard equipment, shipping/handling costs outside the continental 
USA, Special Delivery costs (Air Freight, Next Day, 2nd Day, Packaging 
Services, etc.) and all shipping/handling costs inside the continental USA 90 
days after purchase.
