Warranty/Return Requests

NEWPORT ELECTRONICS, INC. warrants this unit to be free of defects in materials and workmanship for a period of 13 months from date of purchase. NEWPORT Warranty adds an additional one (1) month grace period to the normal one (1) year product warranty to cover handling and shipping time. This ensures that NEWPORTÆs customers receive maximum coverage on each product.

If the unit should malfunction, it must be returned to the factory for evaluation. NEWPORTÆs Customer Service Department will issue an Authorized Return (AR) number immediately upon phone or written request. Upon examination by NEWPORT, if the unit is found to be defective it will be repaired or replaced at no charge. However, this WARRANTY is VOID if the unit shows evidence of having been tampered with or shows evidence of being damaged as a result of excessive corrosion; or current, heat, moisture or vibration; improper specification; misapplication; misuse or other operating conditions outside of NEWPORTÆs control. Components which wear or which are damaged by misuse are not warranted. These include contact points, fuses, and triacs.

In addition to our standard warranty period, NEWPORT ELECTRONICS will extend the warranty period for one (1) additional year only if the warranty card enclosed with each instrument is returned to NEWPORT.
