Elecraft 1-Year Limited Warranty

This warranty is effective as of the date of first consumer purchase. It covers both our kits and fully assembled

products. For kits, before requesting warranty service, you should fully complete the assembly, carefully following all

instructions in the manual.

What is covered: During the first year after date of purchase (or if shipped from factory, date product is shipped to

customer), Elecraft will replace defective or missing parts free of charge (post-paid). We will also correct any

malfunction to kits or assembled units caused by defective parts and materials. Purchaser pays inbound shipping to us

for warranty repair, we pay shipping to return the repaired equipment to you by UPS ground service or equivalent to

the continental USA and Canada. Alaska, Hawaii and outside U.S. and Canada actual return shipping cost paid by

owner.

What is not covered: This warranty does not cover correction of kit assembly errors. It also does not cover

misalignment; repair of damage caused by misuse, negligence, or builder modifications; or any performance

malfunctions involving non-Elecraft accessory equipment. The use of acid-core solder, water-soluble flux solder, or

any corrosive or conductive flux or solvent will void this warranty in its entirety. Also not covered is reimbursement

for loss of use, inconvenience, customer assembly or alignment time, or cost of unauthorized service.

Limitation of incidental or consequential damages: This warranty does not extend to non-Elecraft equipment or

components used in conjunction with our products. Any such repair or replacement is the responsibility of the

customer. Elecraft will not be liable for any special, indirect, incidental or consequential damages, including but not

limited to any loss of business or profits.

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

There is no climate or work location where the components of your K3 are safe from Electrostatic Discharge

(ESD) unless you take specific steps to prevent such damage. Many of the components in your K3 can be

damaged by static discharges of only a few volts: far too little for you to notice. It is those low-voltage but

destructive discharges that easily happen anywhere and under virtually any environmental conditions.

ESD damage may not be apparent at first. The damaged components may not fail completely. Instead, the

damage may result in below-normal performance for an extended period of time before you experience a total

failure.

How ESD Damage Occurs

Whenever an object containing a static charge touches a circuit in your K3, current will rush into the circuit until

the components reach the same voltage as the source of the static charge. If the voltage or current that passes

through a component during that brief period exceeds its normal operating specifications, it may be damaged or

destroyed.

Preventing ESD Damage

ESD damage cannot occur if there is no voltage difference between the components in your K3 and any object

that touches them. That is how anti-static packaging works. Anti-static bags allow the static charge to flow over

their surface, so that any part of the bag that touches the components inside are all at the same potential at all

times. Anti-static foam keeps the leads of sensitive components at the same potential.

At your work bench, avoiding a dangerous voltage is achieved most easily by tying everything together and

connecting them to a common mains safety ground. This includes your K3, individual boards or other sensitive

components as well as everything they may touch at the work table.
