Explosives used in connection with the RFD may be extremely powerful. Improper use of explosives with or without the RFD or improper safety precautions taken with respect to personnel or property may result in death, serious personal injury, or property damage. Other manufacturers’ equipment that may not be in compliance with frequency coordination may inadvertently interfere with the operation of the RFD. Be aware of other operations within the receiving range of the RFD. The literature accompanying this warning contains information of a general nature for users of the RFD based upon the Manufacturer’s experience in the design and manufacture of remote radio frequency devices. In addition, the Manufacturer provides product literature and technical data sheets periodically which should be consulted for detailed information on the characteristics, specifications and recommendations for the RFD. The Manufacturer does not purport to give information or advice on explosives or their use. The RFD and related explosive devices are intended for use only by trained professionals having comprehensive knowledge of the RFD, the explosives being used, and the application together with all related safety precautions. The Manufacturer of the RFD is responsible only for the proper performance of the RFD itself and is not responsible for the performance, safety, or specifications of the explosive used, nor the suitability of the RFD for any particular purpose other than that expressly described in the Manufacturer’s literature. LIMITED WARRANTY Manufacturer warrants the Model 1668 Remote Firing Device (RFD) to be free of defects in workmanship or materials for the period of one year from the date of purchase. In the event any RFD or component thereof is shown to be defective in workmanship or materials within one year, the system or component will be repaired or replaced without charge by Manufacturer at Manufacturer’s place of business. This warranty does not cover damage or injury to equipment resulting from abuse, neglect, or use in applications other than expressly described by Manufacturer as fit purposes for the RFD. This Limited Warranty is given in lieu of all other legal warranties express or implied and neither Manufacturer nor its representatives shall be liable for any direct, incidental or consequential loss or damages arising out of any occurrence or accident involving the use of this product.
