CR1500 Maintentance

The CR1500 device needs only a minimum of maintenance to operate. A few tips are given below for maintenance suggestions.
Cleaning the CR1500 Window
CR1500 window should be clean to allow the best performance of the device. The window is the clear plastic piece inside the head of the reader. Do not touch the window. Your CR1500 uses CMOS technology that is much like a digital camera. A dirty window may stop the CR1500 from reading barcodes. If the window becomes dirty, clean it with a soft, non-abrasive cloth or a facial tissue (no lotions or additives) that has been moistened with water. A mild detergent may be used to lean the window, but the window should be wiped with a water moistened cloth or tissue after using the detergent.

The CR1500 carries a standard five-year limited warranty as described herein. Stand and Cables have a 30 day warranty period.
Limited Warranty. Code warrants each Code product against defects in materials and workmanship under normal use for the Warranty Coverage Term applicable to the product as described at codecorp.com/support/warranty. If a hardware defect arises and a valid warranty claim is received by Code during the Warranty overage Term, Code will either: i) repair a hardware defect at no charge, using new parts or parts equivalent to new in performance and reliability; ii) replace the de product with a product that is a new or refurbished product with equivalent functionality and performance, which may include replacing a product that is no longer available with a newer model product; or ii) in the case of failure with any software, including embedded software included in any Code product, provide a patch, update, or another workaround. All replaced products become the property of Code. All warranty claims must be made using Code’s RMA process.

Exclusions. This warranty does not apply to: i) cosmetic damage, including but not limited to scratches, dents, and broken plastic; ii) damage resulting from use with non-Code products or peripherals, including batteries, power supplies, cables, and docking station/cradles; iii) damage resulting from accident, abuse, misuse, flood, fire or other external causes, including damage caused by unusual physical or electrical stress, immersion in fluids or exposure to cleaning products not approved by Code, puncture, crushing, and incorrect voltage or polarity; iv) damage resulting from services performed by anyone other than a Code authorized repair facility; v) any product that has been modified or altered; vi) any product on which the Code serial number has been removed or defaced. If a Code Product is  returned under a warranty claim and Code determines, in Code’s sole discretion, that the warranty remedies do not apply, Code will contact Customer to arrange either: i) repair or replace the Product; or ii) return the Product to Customer, in each case at Customer’s expense.

Non Warranty Repairs. Code warrants its repair/replacement services for ninety (90) days from the date of shipment of the repaired/ replacement product to the Customer. This warranty applies to repairs and replacements for i) damage excluded from the limited warranty described above, and ii) Code Products on which the limited warranty described above has expired (or will expire within such ninety (90) day warranty period). For repaired products, this warranty covers only the arts that were replaced during the repair and the labor associated with such parts.
No Extension of Term of Coverage. Product that is repaired or replaced, or for which a software patch, update, or other workaround is provided, assumes the remaining warranty of the original Code Product and does not extend the duration of the original warranty period.
Software and Data. The estimated RMA turn-around time from receipt at Code’s facility to shipment of the repaired or replaced product to Customer is ten (10) business days. An expedited turn-around time may apply to products covered under certain CodeOne Service Plans. Customer is responsible for shipping and insurance charges for shipping Code Product to Code’s designated RMA facility and repaired or replaced product is returned with shipping and insurance paid by Code. Customer is responsible for all  applicable taxes, duties, and similar charges.
Transfer. If a customer sells a covered Code Product during the Warranty Coverage Term, then that coverage may be transferred to the new owner by written notification from the original owner to Code Corporation at:
